Amid the debates as to whether India practises democracy in the true fashion, the stupendous role of the Election Commission of India (ECI) clearly exhibits that India adopts at least a robust electoral democracy. Stringent election codes of conduct are imposed on political parties. The ECI ensures that all Indian citizens eligible for political rights exercise their franchise independently. They are sufficiently empowered to choose their representatives. Since the responsibilities of ensuring free and fair elections are shouldered by the Election Commission, there is no doubt that it holds one of the worthiest roles in shaping Indian democracy. This article seeks to examine the changing role of the ECI in building electoral democracy in the country. Most importantly, the present article attempts to examine the noteworthy measures undertaken by the ECI to bolster the electoral democracy in India in the 21st century.

Full textAbstract:
India, the biggest democracy, is over 70 years old. Besides other regulatory authorities, election commissions have played a pivotal role in its formation. State election commissions (SECs) got the constitutional footing via the 73rd and 74th Amendments in 1993. Articles 243K and 243ZA provided for the elections to panchayats and municipalities, respectively. The panchayats comprise of district, block and village levels, while the municipalities include three levels based on the slab of urban population. The present study focuses on the SEC of Uttar Pradesh on various variables, including service conditions of commissioner, organisational structure, increasing responsibility, budget, use of technology and electronic voting machines (EVMs), measures to ensure transparency and objectivity and so on. The study surmises the challenge of evolving complexion of SECs in the changing environment. However, the role of various political parties and citizens and the sensitive issues of electoral reforms have to be simultaneously addressed for ensuring real democracy.

Full textAbstract:
The Election Commission of India (ECI) is generally seen as a regulatory body with the power to enforce rules for the efficient conduct of elections. The ECI performs a range of overlapping functions, not all of which are regulatory. The ECI has been actively engaged in framing rules that constitute both the procedural and substantive aspects of electoral democracy in India. Following successive court decisions, Article 324 has become a ‘reservoir of powers’ giving the ECI scope for the exercise of residuary powers in a variety of situations. The ‘legal doctrine of electoral exceptionalism’ during election time has made itself manifest in the Model Code of Conduct. Innovations in ‘voter education and awareness’, which are often seen through the lens of electoral ‘management’ and the framework of ‘electoral integrity’, have become part of the deliberative content of election alongside the quest for ‘procedural certainty’ and ‘democratic outcomes’.

In the absence of political parties democracy cannot deliver the goods. Well organized political parties constitute the best form of democracy. India has the largest democracy in the world. It introduced universal adult franchise as the basis of voting right in the country. Now the voting age has been lowered down to 18. Most of the Indian voters are not politically matured and they do not have the political education in the proper sense. Political parties in India are classified by the Election Commission of India.

Participation of women in the electoral process of India as contestants has been very abysmal since the inception of the electoral process of the country. Present study has been conceived in view of the demands raised by various political parties and different women organizations about introducing and passing of women’s reservation bill in the parliament so as to secure at least 33 % seats for women candidates across the country. In the present study attempt has been made to see how far women candidates have been given representation by national and state level political parties during all the general elections held in India since independence. The other areas covered in the study include the distribution of political parties during all the general elections held, female candidate fielded by parties in proportion to male candidates, their success rate, votes secured, forfeited deposits etc. the study is purely based on secondary data, retrieved from the official website of the Election Commission of India on October 21, 2013. The multiparty system in India has somewhere become the areas of concern, which in fact has heralded an era of coalition politics in country, where the number has grown exponentially and as of now more than 2000 political parties stand registered with the Election commission of India. On average mere 6.90 % women candidates have been chosen to parliament during each general election, while as on average 4.49 % women contestants have been fielded in each general election. Scenario of state political parties is more worrisome and in case of independent contestants the situation is quite displeasing.

Being the largest democracy of the world, India has presented itself as an example of nurturing a democracy. But in spite of that, the democracy has not been realized up to the full extent because of certain issues rooted in the exercise of its Elections. Here, the researcher has tried to indicate the most important and integral happenings in the present day electoral system under two broad categories viz. money power and muscle power. This is to say that all the issues pertaining to the elections in India have somehow, the root cause as either of the two powers titled above. Some of these issues have been regulated by the Honorable Supreme Court of India and the Election Commission of India, in the past such as invoking communalism in elections, opinion polls, spending limits, paid news, vote purchasing, use of Government machinery, criminalization, etc. But there are still some issues which are difficult to eliminate and even not got much breakthrough in the Courts and by the Commission, in the name of individual rights & liberty and Directive Principles, such as regulation of the political parties under Right to Information Act, the announcement of freebies in the manifestos, corporate financing of the Elections, horse trading, etc. This paper tries to discuss the various manifestations (covering all the election issues) of money and muscle used as power to win the elections and the steps taken by the Government.

Full textAbstract:
Democratic elections pose an immense challenge to any government during an emergency crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. More so for a country like India, with close to 18% of the world's population comprising an equally daunting and eager voter base of around 911 million in the time of a raging virus, both in the urban and rural areas of the nation. The first democratic large-scale election during the pandemic was successfully held in the state of Bihar in North India with more than 90 million voters, which was an astonishing feat by itself. The model followed by South Korea with the highest voter turnout provided an insight to the Indian authorities on conducting the elections. The Indian Election Commission, an independent statutory body which is entrusted with the task of conducting free and fair elections, allowed for the virtual mode of campaigning, and specific guidelines for polling were recommended. The rule changes have profound implications in significantly reducing crowded campaigns, which was synonymous with Indian democracy. The traditional lens through which the administration of elections was perceived has undergone a paradigm shift during the pandemic. New insights might surface if the electoral administration is reviewed in this study on an argumentative basis against the background of the big steps taken by the Indian election machinery. The aspects on which the research debates include: (i) the pros and cons of the action taken by the regulators; (ii) positive and negative responses from the political parties; and (iii) health and safety of the voters. The study concludes by affirming with data on the success of the Bihar Election and the wise choice of the Indian government in seizing the opportunity by taking the cues from South Korea.

Purpose The paper aims to “re-use” the Open Government Data (OGD) published by the Election Commission of India (ECI). Bihar’s performance across General Elections, 2014, and Bihar Legislative Assembly Elections, 2015, is compared, wherein the role of contestants’ demographic profiles in determining their vote share is being investigated. Design/methodology/approach Hypotheses are derived based on the impact of contestants’ demographic profiles (age, marital status, social category, political party affiliation, educational qualification, availing telephone and email facility, criminal antecedents) on their vote share. Following a quantitative approach, multiple regression and logistic regression are used to draw inferences from the data contestants’ affidavits – sourced from the ECI website. Findings Results show that contestants’ demographic profiles impact their vote share in the elections. While the ECI website is a viable source for re-using the data available there, data are not available in a user-friendly format and this leads to difficulty in being re-used by different stakeholders. Originality/value Academic research on OGD re-use is negligible, and the present study seeks to contribute towards extant literature by underlining the significance of re-using OGD by drawing inferences from the data accessible via ECI.

The Regional Political Parties are playing a very significant role in Indian political system, particularly in the post Congress era and in coalition politics. As far as the national level politics is concerned, the regional political parties play a ‘king maker’ role. Whereas, the politics at state level is concerned, the regional political parties have been playing an effective role for working of government machinery. The Assam has also not lagging behind this context. Although the state has produces some small political parties before 1985, but formation of the AGP, BPPF, BPF and the AIUDF playing a very significant role in the politics of Assam. The AGP and the AIUDF not only emerge as an alternative of the Congress party at the state politics but also could able to participate in the national politics.

In 2023, India experienced another year of strong economic growth; it was the fastest- growing economy in the world. However, as before, this growth was accompanied by growing unemployment and inequality between urban and rural regions. Furthermore, the year was marked yet again by significant declines in the quality of democracy as the parliament was increasingly marginalized, a new law effectively handed control of the Election Commission of India to the incumbent government, and laws and government actions curbed civil liberties and human rights. One major positive development was the passage of a law reserving seats for women in the directly elected national and state assemblies. India successfully hosted its first G20 summit but also dealt with major foreign policy issues, including increasing rivalry with China for regional influence, accusations of assassination attempts by its intelligence agencies in friendly countries, and the ongoing Israel–Palestine conflict. Finally, 2023 saw the BJP claim dominant electoral victories in four out of nine states, putting it in government in 16 of the 28 Indian states.

Abstract: Since, India being the largest democracy in the world. Still uses voting machines to hold elections, which comes with high costs and manual labour. But voting plays a crucial role in the election of high-ranking government officials and reflects our view of how a governing body should be formed. Investigations are conducted from time to time to troubleshoot the central voting system, increasing anonymity, credibility and security while preventing all types of fraud. In this paper, there is an implementation of a method that uses deep learning techniques which develops a smart voting system. Due to its advanced features, most researchers follow and use the Boosted Cascade framework. The enhanced Cascade Framework features help you calculate and build a classifier that works more accurately. However, this accuracy rate requires a large number of Cascade Stages to help reduce similar performance with the detection and recognition accuracy. This provides protection in the sense that the most secure voter password is verified before a vote is received on the main database of the Indian Electoral Commission and voters can verify that his or her vote has reached to correct participant of election. The votes counting is done automatically, thus saving a lot of time and the results can be announced in a very short time by the Indian Electoral Commission. The user verification process is enhanced by adding a face recognition to the app that will determine whether the voter is a certified user or not. Keywords: Online voting system, smart voting, face recognition, face detection, security, user authentication, deep learning, haar cascade classifier, computer vision.

Creating an E-Voting system which satisfies every legal requirement of lawmaker or Election Commission has been a challenge for a long time especially in a country like India. The E-Voting were 1st used in 1982 in kerela(India). Since then many questions have been raised against EVM. In every Election, losing party accuses the winning party of hacking the EVM. But the Blockchain Technology offers infinite range of security and assurance that each and every vote given by you is going to right place and to the right person. This paper aims to evaluate every aspect of blockchain based E-Voting and how blockchain based Evoting is different from traditional E-Voting system. Also we elucidate the requirement for the Blockchain based E-Voting system. This paper describes the need of making E- Voting system and identifies the legal and technical limitations of using blockchain. This is a simple and user- friendly web app developed for Indian voting system which is very bigger. Blockchain technology provides scalability and confidentiality and it is more secure than the other traditional voting system. The hash code generated by the user is unique and can be use only one time in one election. User cannot give the vote second time. Blockchain Technology uses peer to peer technology that’s why it is highly secure.

Full textAbstract:
The Supreme Court of India, while hearing a petition filed by the University of Kerala challenging the decision of the Kerala High Court on 19 September 2005, directed the Central Government to give directions regarding the country's student union elections. Set up a high level committee headed by a judge or a former election commissioner. According to the order, the Ministry of Human Resources constituted a six-member committee under the leadership of former Election Commissioner of India James Michael Lyngdoh as per the directions of the Court. Whose main recommendations are as follows-
▪ Candidate should have minimum 75% attendance. The minimum percentage of marks should also be fixed and he should be a regular student. ▪ The candidate should not have any criminal record. ▪ The election expenses of the candidate should not exceed 5000. ▪ The candidate shall submit his audited report of expenditure details to the University/College Administration within two weeks of the declaration of result.
After the recommendations of the Lyngdoh Committee, a new framework for the student union elections was prepared in the universities of India, which was supported and opposed by the students. After the order of the Supreme Court, from 2007, student union elections were started in all the universities of the country on the basis of the recommendations of the Lyngdoh Committee.

Full textAbstract:
The present study focuses on spatial patterns of Red Alert Assembly constituencies in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections 2012/2017. Red alert constituencies are referred to as those constituencies in which at least three contestants have mentioned heinous criminal charges against them in their election affidavit. Out of 403 Assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh, 121 (30.02 percent) in 2012 and 152 (37.69 percent) in 2017 were identified as red alert constituencies. These constituencies were unevenly distributed in the state. The objective of the present study is to examine the spatial pattern of red alert constituencies and voter turnout of such constituencies in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections of 2012/2017. The study is based on secondary data sources such as reports from the Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR) and the Election Commission of India. For the purpose of analysis, the aggregate data analysis approach has been adopted, which is one of the most rational approaches to electoral geography. The study demonstrates that contestants with criminal backgrounds were preferred by major political parties for having a high winning probability and self-bearing election expenditure. This shows the hypocritical behavior of political parties manifesting against corruption and crime and assuring good governance. The highest share of such constituencies has been recorded in Bundelkhand and the lowest in the western region. The state electoral politics is thus gradually getting affected by criminal background candidates.

In the present scenario, Electronic Voting Machines ("EVM") are being used in India, generally for state elections. These EVMs are being used since 1999 upto till date. The EVMs reduce the time for both casting a vote and declaring the results when compared to the old paper ballot systems, up to 2004 there is no Tampering and security provided for EVMs after 2004 Supreme court and Election Commission decided to introduce EVMs with Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail(VVPAT) system but it also having some difficulties like missing of names in the voter list, requirement of huge manpower, storing of EVMs for counting purpose etc, so our proposed method is useful to overcome above problems in the voting system by using the Biometric and Aadhaar information.<strong> </strong>

Abstract: In this paper a new authentication technique is discussed i-e; facial recognition verification for online voting system. It aims to develop a computerized voting system to make the election process more secure and user friendly. The electorate want to visit distinct locations like polling cubicles and stand in an extended queue to cast their vote, because of such reasons most of the people skip their chance of voting. The voter who isn't eligible also can forged its vote via way of means of faux way which can also additionally cause many problems. That's why in this project we have proposed a system or way for voting which is very effective or useful in voting. This system can also save money of the government which is spent in the election process. Overall this project is being developed to help staff of election commission of India and also reduce the human efforts. Keywords: Online Voting, Biometric Authentication, Security System.

Full textAbstract:
India poses a development puzzle on a grand scale. Sixty years of electoral democracy, thirty years of rapid growth, and a number of world class institutions (such as the Institutes of Technology or Election Commission) have led to talk of India as a superpower in a league with the United States and China. Yet, on many fronts, India's indicators of human well-being (e.g., malnutrition, immunization) are at, or below, those of much poorer sub-Saharan African countries. Measures of the administrative capacity of the state on basics like attendance, performance, and corruption reveal a potentially “flailing state” whose brilliantly formulated policies are disconnected from realities on the ground. This review essay of Ed Luce's In Spite of the Gods attempts to articulate the puzzle that is modern India and pose questions about the development trajectory of a country whose fortunes will shape our century.

Deploying COVID-19 vaccines once they are available is going to be an unprecedented administrative and logistical challenge. This paper proposes a plan to vaccinate 80% of India’s population by December 2021. We envision this process to be divided into four main stages viz., estimating the need, securing vaccine supply, distributing the vaccines, and post-market surveillance. Broadly, we suggest that essential workers be prioritised for vaccination in the first phase followed by everyone else. We recommend that the government issue a model contract to build manufacturer trust and incentivise ramping up manufacturing capacity. Vaccines can be priced as per market rates with the government subsidising the cost to necessary recipients to ensure equitable access. Along with public private partnerships and open markets, the government must leverage administrative capacities of Election Commission of India to roll out a nationwide vaccination drive for maximising vaccine coverage. Finally, we recommend post-market vaccine surveillance strategies to obtain data on adverse events and tweak vaccine deployments, when necessary.

AbstractThe success of India's democracy hinges on the pivotal role played by its auxiliary institutions in negotiating major challenges through slow and persistent transformation. However, an objective audit of the performance of these institutions in the recent past would indicate a decline in operations and an acute crisis of corruption. Key institutions responsible for governance – Parliament, civil services, judiciary, the Election Commission, the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Central Vigilance Commission, and the Comptroller and Auditor General – have been put under the spotlight by an alert and mobilized civil society, urging immediate measures for ensuring their operational efficiency and integrity. This essay undertakes a critical examination of the present performance and efficiency of major democratic institutions in India, in the light of their prescribed roles and the malaise of corruption that plagues them. It argues that in order to articulate a comprehensive institutional response to the problem, relevant measures of political reform and constant vigil by civil society would prove crucial. The article is divided into six sections; first, a brief outline of the structure and changing nature of the institutional political set-up in India is provided; the second section examines the existing literature on ‘corruption’, and the third section highlights the increasing incidence of corruption in India at various politico-administrative tiers. The fourth section delineates the inception and role of anti-corruption institutions in India, signifying the early response to corruption. The fifth section critically reviews the theoretical and statistical evidence of performance-decline in the major institutions at present and gauges the potency of corruption; the sixth section explores the existing and prospective institutional responses for tackling corruption and the final section presents concluding observations.

Despite the provision of gender equality made in the Indian constitution, the presence of women in the Legislative Committee and the rate of political participation is very low in a field. Based on a report published by the Election Commission of India, women represent 10.5 percent of the total members of Parliament. The condition of women is even worse in the state assembly, where their leadership is only 9 percent. Even after 75 years of independence, the representation of women in the Lok Sabha has not increased beyond 10 per cent. Major political parties in India are full of women activists, but mostly they are not given the required tickets to contest elections and are kept on the margins.
Abstract in Hindi Language:
भारतीय संविधान में किए गए लैंगिक समानता के प्रावधान के बावजूद, वैद्यानिक समिति और राजनीतिक सहभागिता की दर एक क्षेत्र में महिलाओं की उपस्थिति काफी कम है। भारतीय चुनाव आयोग, द्वारा प्रकाशित एक रिपोर्ट के आधार पर, संसद के कुल सदस्यों में 10.5 प्रतिशत प्रतिनिधित्व महिलायें करती है। राज्य असेंबली में तो महिलाओं की और भी बुरी दशा है, जहां पर उनका नेतृत्व मात्र 9 प्रतिशत ही है। स्वतंत्रता के 75 साल बीत जाने के बाद भी लोकसभा में महिलाओं का प्रतिनिधित्व 10 प्रतिशत से ज्यादा नहीं बढ़ा है। भारत के प्रमुख राजनीतिक दलों में महिला कार्यकर्ताओं की भरमार है, परंतु ज्यादातर उन्हे चुनाव लड़ने के लिए जरुरी टिकट नहीं दी जाती है और उन्हे हाशिये पर रखा जाता है।

India is a Democratic country with a huge population where voting plays an important role. Every citizen has the right to choose their leaders. This is done by using electronic voting machines (EVMs) at polling booths. But even there may be some malfunctions during elections. Under these circumstances holding elections is a complex task for the Election Commission because there is rigging taking place. Electronic voting systems have come into the picture to prevent rigging up to the maximum extent. For this, we are using the R307 Fingerprint Module which scans the fingerprint and gives input to Arduino Uno. Our developed algorithm stores the particular fingerprint in the storage drive and makes sure that the fingerprint is unique from the previously stored data. Thus, when the same person comes to poll his vote during the elections, he needs to give his fingerprint before polling his vote if his fingerprint is already present in stored data. If both the data are matched. The person can be eligible to pole his vote else the buzzer will give us the alert sound. The advanced technology will improve the “Biometric Voting System” through the fingerprint enrolment process making the authentication easy and enhancing security.

India has chosen the Canadian model of dual GST. For the past 70 years, India‘seconomy has been funded by invisible money. Elected representatives, governments, politicalparties, and the election commission completely failed in checking it. The big thing thatpeople have not seen from a data perspective is - the recent launch of the goods and servicestax. A lot of focus has been on the challenges, but actually it is a fantastic data issue. For thefirst time eight million businesses will be digitally recorded in a central tax database.In theGST system, taxes for both Centre and State will be collected at the point of sale. Both willbe charged on the manufacturing cost. Individuals will be benefited by this as prices arelikely to come down and lower prices and more consumption more production, therebyhelpinginthegrowthofthecompanies.

This paper analyses the services of Sahibzada Abdul Qaiyum Khan in granting constitutional reform to North-West Frontier. Quaid-i-Azam of Sarhad, Sahibzada Abdul Qaiyum, after his retirement from government service in 1919, started a struggle for constitutional reforms to the North-West Frontier. The constitutional reforms introduced in British India since its inception in 1901 were not extended timely to North-West Frontier, due to which it remained a Chief Commissioner's Province till 1932. Sahibzada Abdul Qaiyum pleaded the case on all fronts, including the Bray Committee, Indian Legislative Assembly, Delhi Proposals, annual sessions of All India Muslim League, Simon Commission, Haig Committee, and Round Table Conferences held in London. After a long struggle, North-West Frontier was levelled from a Commissioner Province to a Governor Province, and a Legislative Council was formed in 1932. After the elections, Sahibzada Abdul Qaiyum was elected as the Minster of the Transferred Departments of N-W.F.P. After five years, according to the Act of 1935, the Legislative Assembly was formed, and he was elected as the first Chief Minister of N-W.F.P. in 1937. The article reviewed primary and secondary data available in the provincial archives, Peshawar, National Documentation Centre, Islamabad, British Library, London, and other libraries.

Purpose: - The up-rise of social unrest in the state of Jammu & Kashmir (the federal constituent of the Union of India) towards the end of the 20th century with the demand to secede from the union of India has somewhere earned the Jammu & Kashmir as a conflict zone in the South Asia. The present study has been conceived to examine the public participation of the Jammu & Kashmir state in the democratic process of the country, by participating in the general elections of India (A referendum or plebiscite of its own kind, whereby people of the state, time and again have reaffirmed their faith in the democratic process of the country) since its accession with the union of India. Some of the aspects evaluated in the present study include, electoral participation, participation of national and local level political parties, participation and performance of national level political parties, representation given to women candidates, etc.Scope: - The study is confined to the state of Jammu & Kashmir, India and the findings have direct bearing with the state, which has altogether a different geopolitical setup, where public interests stand safeguarded by the constitution of India under article 370. There is every need to observe caution, while generalizing the findings of the study.Methodology/Approach: - The study is empirical in nature, undertaken on the secondary data, retrieved from the official website of the Election Commission of India on August 02, 2014.Findings: - The state of Jammu and Kashmir has so far undergone through 12 general elections in the country. The average voter turnout during these elections from the state remained about 46.76%. At gender level the average voter turnout percentage among males remained 60% & for females 39.90%, which compared to voter turnout at national level during the same period at gender level remained 62.39% and 55.45% respectively. The voter turnout percentage from the state remained far better than various other states of the country for the same period. The threat perception to not to participate in the electoral process of the country that prevailed over state populace post 1989 got reflected in the subsequent 7 general elections held in the state, especially among female folk, resulting decline in their turnout percentage, when compared to their male counterparts.Social Implications: - The study is an eye opener to the public at large and to those, who are abetting the Jammu & Kashmir’s secession movement by crying that the state is devoid of democracy. The secession movement which is being backed by the money & the munitions questions its own credibility & justification.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractComparative law and politics literature widely recognizes the role of election management bodies (EMBs) in securing the well-being of constitutional democracies. Scholars have noted the political desirability of both independence and accountability of these institutions. But striking balance between these two values is easier said than done. This Article highlights the dilemma of accountability by focusing on India's Election Commission (ECI) as a paradigmatic version of a powerful EMB. Scholars of Indian politics have long noted the institution's widening powers – often beyond the original constitutional intent or parliamentary legislation – over the last few decades. This, they argue, has impaired its institutional accountability. This Article adopts a fresh perspective on the ECI's expansive functions, and the attendant concerns these raise. It argues that the ECI regulates the electoral process not through what we may ordinarily identify as the law. The most compelling and consequential of its functions are through extra-legal modalities of regulation. Drawing from recent scholarship on regulation, the Article argues that the ECI shapes the electoral environment and behaviour through non-legal modalities of architecture, nudge and notice-based regulations. Much like the other fields where they are deployed, these extra-legal modalities exhibit unique, and in many ways, inherent limitations with respect to transparency. It is thus this character of the ECI's functions – rather than only their widening breadth – that poses the most significant challenge for democratic accountability. Based on this assessment, the Article notes that for powerful EMBs like the ECI, accountability in the form of on-going operational accountability is inherently limited in compelling ways. This increases the stakes for accountability of these institutions through other means, particularly by securing their constitution, composition and tenure.

Full textAbstract:
The Election Commission of India has talked about India's Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) as dependable and impeccable, yet comparable electronic voting machines utilized around the world have shown to experience the ill effects of genuine security issues. This research aims to build a digital voting platform secured with the revolutionary concept of blockchain. A naive implementation of the same using Python for biometric authentication and NodeJs to create the blockchain is presented. It secures the blocks using 512-bit SHA-2 (Secure Hashing Algorithm 2). For authentication of users, the proposed model incorporates the use of biometric data which will be mapped to the cryptic unique Aadhaar card number of the voter. Thus, a platform is proposed to make the voting procedure easier, secured, and fault tolerant using blockchain. The results show secure vote casting by biometric authentication and saving in an immutable distributed fashion, thus keeping it safe from being altered.

The article presents an analytical review of the monograph of the Russian political scientist V.I. Fedorov "Electronic voting: Russian and foreign experience". The author of the monograph gained fame in the course of studying electoral practices in the testing and implementation of various forms of online and Internet voting both in the electoral process of domestic elections and during foreign electoral procedures. The reviewed scientific monograph provides a detailed analysis and critical overview of global electronic voting practices (based on materials from a number of foreign countries, such as: Russia, India, Bhutan, Venezuela, Switzerland, Estonia, Namibia, Kyrgyzstan, Brazil, Belgium, Mongolia, the Philippines). The author of the reviewed work relies on statistical and sociological data, expert reports showing the rapid growth of the use of electronic technologies in the electoral process. The monograph notes and analyzes the emerging trend in both domestic and global electoral practice of the transition from traditional voting (using ballots) to online voting, which is associated by the author of the study with the logic of rational choice theory, focusing on reducing costs and expenses during elections (budget savings and staff reduction staff of election commissions) and maximizing the benefits for the authorities and authorities organizing and conducting elections (increase in electoral turnout, the speed of counting the votes of mobile voters, the prevention of unconventional mass forms of political participation after the publication of election results).

Full textAbstract:
The Constitution (Seventy-fourth Amendment) Act, 1992, completed 25 years of implementation. All states in India amended the municipal laws in conformity with the Act and are implementing them. As a consequence, provisions have been made to hold urban local body elections regularly, reservations to women and weaker sections, constitute election and finance commissions, and district and metropolitan planning committees. However, a closer analysis, after 25 years of its implementation, brings out certain deficiencies. The states seem to be half-hearted to decentralise democracy, reluctant to empower urban local bodies, functionally and financially and unwilling to clothe them with autonomy. It is time to revisit the Act, review its performance based on 25 years of experience and suggest measures to achieve the objectives that lay behind its enactment.

The article is devoted to the study of the theory and practice of using electronic technologies in elections and referendums in the context of guaranteeing the established international principles of electoral law. The relevance of the topic is related to the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On the All-Ukrainian Referendum", which allows the use of information and telecommunication technologies during its organization and conduct. The subject of the study is the theory and practice of using electronic technologies in elections and referendums in Ukraine and abroad. The purpose of the article is to analyze the use of electronic technologies in the process of administration, preparation and conduct of elections, which can be similarly used in the all-Ukrainian referendum in the context of ensuring the principles of electoral law, and also to clarify the technical side of their implementation. The study applies the method of analysis and synthesis of scientific information, comparative legal and dialectical methods of scientific cognition. The norms of domestic legislation on holding elections and the all-Ukrainian referendum on the use of electronic technologies have been studied. International standards of the implementation of e-voting technology, as well as the main recommendations of the Venice Commission and the Committee of Ministers on preventing violations of the principle of fair and free elections during the use of information technologies, were analyzed. Special attention was paid to the study of legal opinions of courts of foreign countries regarding problematic aspects and possible violation of voting principles when using e-voting technology (USA, Germany, India, Albania). It was concluded that the international community does not distinguish between using of electronic voting programs in elections and referendums, applying the same approaches to the implementation of electoral principles. Recommendations for domestic legislative activity and the practice of election administration are outlined. The possible use of such leading information and telecommunication technologies as biometric identification, online registration of political parties and candidates, electronic voting, optical scanning of paper ballots, recording of a paper trail, cryptography, etc. has been revealed. The analysis of judicial practice made it possible to conclude that in order to comply with the public nature of the election process it is important to guarantee cybersecurity, protection of personal data and the results of will detection by recording a paper trail. Finally, attention was drawn to the problem of legislative regulation of electronic procedures during the all-Ukrainian referendum without their consistency and harmonization with the provisions of the Election Code of Ukraine. The obsolescence of the procedure for initiating a national referendum enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine and detailed in the law, which needs to be modernized, is emphasized.

AbstractThis article explores the constitutional politics of electoral governance in federations by focusing on the role of election commissions, drawing mainly on examples from Asia. All democracies face the challenge of insulating electoral governance from interference and capture. Compared to unitary states, federations confront the additional dilemma of how to disperse authority over electoral governance across multiple orders of government. Federal democracies must decide whether electoral governance should be a matter for the center or the states. I argue that the basic choice is between what I will call the ‘unitary model’ and the ‘division of powers model.’ The main institution of electoral governance is the electoral management body or ‘EMB.’ In the unitary model, a central EMB administers both national and state-level elections. In the ‘division of powers model’, both a central and state-level EMBs exist, with the state commissions administering elections in the component units of the federation. In federal democracies generally, but especially in Asia, the allure of the unitary model has been strong. The article draws on the example of the Constituent Assembly in India to illustrate what is at stake in how federal constitutions allocate authority over electoral governance.

The emergence of technology has transformed every aspect of the contemporary world, and the electoral landscape is also benefiting from this transformation. Although new technologies are meant to make the electoral process more transparent and efficient, there are several challenges posed by this technological advancement, which may also adversely affect the results of elections. This research has been carried out to analyze the potential and challenges linked with Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) and the technological impact of EVM. Quantitative research has been conducted using a case study research design focusing on Pakistan. Special attention has been given to the use of EVM in India and Brazil to know the technological impact of the adoption of EVM in Pakistan. An expert sampling method has been used to get the insights and opinions of electoral and technological experts through a survey. The findings of this research highlight the significance of EVM in ensuring the efficiency of the electoral process, including fast results and an error-free polling process. Two distinct factors have been fetched using Factor Analysis concerning security apprehensions of EVM, such as hacking and manipulation issues, as challenges in the implementation of EVM. Contrary to this, special measures have been identified, like public awareness of technology and capacity building of human and infrastructure resources to achieve uninterrupted implementation of EVM. The findings further underscore the technological advancement with a need for robust security measures, easy-to-use interfaces of EVM, and regular security and audit enhancement of EVM machines to successfully implement EVM. The research promotes an understanding of the abilities of EVMs to promote legitimate elections. It guides lawmakers and the Election Commission of Pakistan on properly utilizing this technology. The paper claims that the intentional adoption and skillful oversight of EVMs can significantly enhance the reliability and efficiency of electoral processes, hence strengthening democracy.

As suggested by the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India recently, the elective module was implemented in our medical college for MBBS admission batch 2019. Since, this was the first of its kind implementation in our institute and across the country, we planned this study to know the perception of medical students regarding the implementation of elective module. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among MBBS students of 2019 batch. A pre-validated questionnaire was prepared by the Medical Education Unit (MEU) members of our institute using online Google form and was circulated to all via WhatsApp group and email. A total of 63 responses from medical students were included for data analysis. Majority students said that objectives of the elective module were largely met and the faculty members were very helpful and responsive, and that they actively participated in the electives. Majority of them agreed that it was a very good academic activity, the time duration was appropriate, and it provided an opportunity to show creativity and for teamwork. Most students rated the overall experience of electives as "good" and above, however they were worried about getting faculty signatures in the logbooks.

Full textAbstract:
The Government of Karnataka had, in October 2022, promulgated an ordinance to increase the reservation limit of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes to 17 percent and 7 percent respectively. The ordinance was promulgated in furtherance of the recommendations made by the Justice HN Nagamohandas Commission which is also supported by the Justice Subhash Adi Committee report. Further, in December 2022, the Government of Karnataka had, seemingly as an act of appeasement and prior to the 2023 Assembly elections, tabled a Bill [The Karnataka Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Reservation of Seats in Educational Institutions and of Appointments or Posts in the Services under the State) Bill, 2022] in the Legislative Assembly which reiterates the increase in reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the State just as the previously promulgated ordinance. The bill was eventually passed. The relevance of the ordinance and the bill is based on the observation that such an increase in reservation quota for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes would bring the overall reservation quota above 50 percent, which is against the desirable limit prescribed by the Supreme Court on reservation. This paper mainly aims to critically analyse the bill and the possible legal hurdles it might encounter. The paper shall, in the first part, deal with the history of reservation in India and the various constitutional provisions regarding the same. Secondly, the various landmark Supreme Court judgements on reservation, especially the decisions on the desirable limit of reservation, would be elucidated. The paper would also delve into the recommendations of the Commission and Committee that have been cited as the main reasons for the introduction of such an ordinance and thereafter the bill. This shall be followed by an analysis of whether this is an exceptional circumstance which demands the breach of the 50 percent rule. The paper shall, in conclusion, pose the various challenges that the Bill raises if the introduction of it is merely a political gimmick rather than a special circumstance requiring the breach of the desirable 50 percent reservation limit.
