| Summary, etc |
India, the biggest democracy, is over 70 years old. Besides other regulatory authorities, election commissions have played a pivotal role in its formation. State election commissions (SECs) got the constitutional footing via the 73rd and 74th Amendments in 1993. Articles 243K and 243ZA provided for the elections to panchayats and municipalities, respectively. The panchayats comprise of district, block and village levels, while the municipalities include three levels based on the slab of urban population. The present study focuses on the SEC of Uttar Pradesh on various variables, including service conditions of commissioner, organisational structure, increasing responsibility, budget, use of technology and electronic voting machines (EVMs), measures to ensure transparency and objectivity and so on. The study surmises the challenge of evolving complexion of SECs in the changing environment. However, the role of various political parties and citizens and the sensitive issues of electoral reforms have to be simultaneously addressed for ensuring real democracy. - Reproduced. |
