Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Addresses the legal framework under the Representation of the People Acts and the role of the Election Commission. Key reforms include the introduction of EVMs, use of VVPAT for transparency, curbing criminalization by mandating candidate disclosures, and limiting campaign expenses. Recent discussions revolve around simultaneous elections, online voter enrollment, and stricter anti-defection rules. The Model Code of Conduct regulates campaigns to ensure fairness. Reforms aim to reduce muscle power, money power, and malpractice, enhancing voter confidence. While progress is made, challenges remain—like paid news, data misuse, and incomplete enforcement—calling for continuous innovation in India’s electoral processes.
