The Election Commission of India is an autonomous, quasi-judiciary constitutional body created to conduct free and fair elections to representative bodies in India. It was established on January 25, 1950.
The Constitution of India has vested in the Election Commission of India the superintendence, direction and control of the entire process for conduct of elections to Parliament and Legislature of every State and to the offices of President and Vice-President of India.
The law which governs all elections in India as mentioned above is the Representation of People Act, 1950.
Structure
The commission presently consists of a Chief Election Commissioner and two Election Commissioners. Originally, however, the commission had just one Chief Commissioner. Two Commissioners were appointed for the first time on 16 October 1989 but their tenure lasted only till 1 January 1990. On 1 October 1993, two additional Election Commissioners were appointed. The commission has followed the multi-member structure since then, with decisions taken a by majority vote.
The Election Commission has a Secretariat at New Delhi consisting of about 300 officials.
N. Gopalaswami is the present Chief Election Commissioner of India since he took over charge from B.B. Tandon on June 29, 2006. The other two election commissioners are Navin Chawla and S.Y. Quereshi.
