Together form the legal backbone for elections to Parliament and state legislatures. The 1950 Act deals with electoral rolls and constituency demarcation, while the 1951 Act addresses the conduct of elections, qualifications/disqualifications for candidates, and resolution of disputes. Key amendments have introduced NOTA, mandated affidavit disclosures on candidates’ criminal records, and regulated poll expenses. The Election Commission enforces the RPA, ensuring free and fair polling. Debates revolve around criminalization in politics, transparency in funding, and EVM usage. Mastery of RPA helps understand how India’s electoral democracy is operationalized and safeguarded against malpractice.
