New Delhi: For allegations of nomination of fake voters for Maharashtra elections, first but indirectly, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanash Kumar underlined the statutory sharing of electoral rolls with all recognized political parties since the year 1960, with a provision, objections and a provision for appeals.After inaugurating the International Conference on Electoral Integrity (IDEA) at Stockholm on Tuesday, Kumar described the annual roll modification exercise in India as “the world’s most rigid and transparent”, saying that it strengthened the accuracy and integrity of the election process. He said that “This strong system plays an important role in maintaining electoral credibility across the country.Rahul recently reiterated his allegation that the BJP won its landslide in Maharashtra last year, which is for an unusual increase in the number of voters after the Lok Sabha elections. The Election Commission officials had dismissed the allegations anonymously, saying that apart from connecting votes in Maharashtra, there was less than the increase in the number of voters for Telangana and Jharkhand elections, which were won by the Congress and its allies.The Congress continued its protest, while also emphasized that EC officials did not speak “on records”.Considering the participants – representing the election management bodies (EMB) of about 50 countries – a large scale of Indian elections held under political parties, candidates, supervisors and media clocks, the CEC said that the poll panel said that with more than 20 million personnel, including more than 20 million personnel, including polling workers, police forces and supervisors, “Voters are involved in independent”.Kumar detected the development of Indian elections for decades, given how the system has adapted to increase complexity during constitutional values. He said, “In 1951-52, from 173 million voters up to 979 million in 2024, and more than 1.05 million today from only 0.2 million polling stations in the early years, India’s election trip has demonstrated both institutional foresight and unmatched scale.” Kumar said that 743 political parties and 20,271 candidates held elections across the country using 6.2 million EVMs.Referring to the inclusive design of Indian elections, Kumar said that the election process serves voters in the most inaccessible areas with voters, senior citizens in 85+ age groups, persons with special abilities, third gender voters, and equal care and commitment for the first time. He said that the commitment of leaving a voter behind with a single electoral with high -altitude stations like Tashigang in Himachal Pradesh has been repeated as a constitutional principle rather than a logical challenge.
