Election Commission of India
Not met yet — counts as met once you answer a question on it.
Article 324 of the Constitution establishes a body with superintendence, direction, and control over elections to Parliament, State Legislatures, and the offices of President and Vice-President. Its mandate covers the Model Code of Conduct, EVM oversight, delimitation coordination, and quasi-judicial powers over candidate disqualifications under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. Appointments are now governed by the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023, replacing the Supreme Court-led model mandated in Anoop Baranwal v. Union of India.
