The Election Commission of India derives its authority from the Constitution itself, yet its independence rests substantially on convention. Discuss. What reforms would place that independence on firmer footing?
The Election Commission conducts elections to Parliament, state legislatures and the offices of President and Vice-President. Article 324✓ anchored vests “superintendence, direction and control” of elections in the Commission, and the Supreme Court has read this as a reservoir of residuary power. Yet the CEC’s protection is only quasi-judicial: other Election Commissioners can be removed rather easilybe specific, and appointments remained purely executive until the 2023 statute. […] Reforms: a broad-based appointment committee, parity of removal protection for all Commissioners, an independent secretariat, and a charged (non-votable) budget.
