<br/><br/> While the multi-member Election Commission is unequivocal (since October 1993), the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023, rather than comprehending and strengthening plurality, tends to have focused on the prism of the single-member commission (as envisioned by Article 324). Thus, a host of dynamics in the multi-member commission—inter-commissioner relations and status—have been left in the lurch, and this is not likely to bolster the integrity and efficacy of the “guardian of Indian democracy.”- Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/20/commentary/implications-papering-over-multi-member-election.html<br/>
