The Constitution mandates the Election Commission (EC) to conduct free and fair elections in India, the backbone of India’s democracy. But how free and fair are our elections today? Serious questions have been raised over the functioning of the EC in recent years particularly after the Supreme Court’s Order in May, 2023 about appointments to the EC.
