The Election Commission of India (ECI) is meeting with political party representatives to improve electoral processes due to rising complaints from the Opposition.
The Opposition raised concerns about voter registration, turnout, and election conduct, prompting the ECI to ask for suggestions and engage with provincial officials regularly.
The ECI previously responded aggressively to complaints, deepening distrust among political parties.
Doubts over Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) have created skepticism among voters, and the ECI should work to reassure the public about the voting system's integrity.
The ECI needs to review issues like campaign regulations, hate speech, and election timing while being open to feedback.
The ECI’s role has strengthened Indian democracy through transparency, accountability, and increased voter participation.
While minor issues like duplicate voter IDs exist, more serious problems with voter registration at multiple polling locations need fixing.
The ECI must ensure fair elections and prevent the ruling party from gaining an unfair advantage during campaigns.
Regular interactions with political parties and clear information will help build confidence in the electoral process.
