The country is ready for Lok Sabha elections 2024 with a total of 102 constituencies in 21 states will vote on April 19 for the first phase.
The Indian elections indeed hold immense significance, representing a cornerstone of democratic processes in the country. With the Election Commission of India overseeing every aspect, the integrity and fairness of the elections are upheld.
Established in 1950, shortly after India gained independence, the Election Commission operates independently to ensure that the electoral process is conducted transparently.
Led by the Chief Election Commissioner, appointed by the President, and comprising other members appointed by the government, the commission plays a pivotal role in shaping the democratic landscape of India.
The electoral process, marked by direct, secret, and universal suffrage for citizens above 18 years old, underscores the democratic principles enshrined in the Indian Constitution. The Election Commission works diligently to encourage participation from all sections of society, including women, minorities, and citizens residing abroad, thereby fostering inclusive representation in governance.
