Summary/Abstract |
The Election Commission of India (henceforth, the EC), an institution created by the Constitution of India in 1950, manages and conducts parliamentary and state assembly (provincial level) elections. In recent elections, it has made tremendous efforts to make the electoral process more participatory. More than 900 million people were eligible to vote in the Indian parliamentary elections of 2019. In addition to the conventional ways of spreading voter awareness, the EC tried to reach out to voters through previously untried means to persuade them to come to the polling booths and vote – reflecting an institutional enthusiasm for popular mobilisation. However, there are also a significant number of missing names from the electoral rolls, and the EC faces accusations of being apathetic towards this anomaly. Is this eagerness on one hand and anomaly on the other symptomatic of ‘democracy at crossroads’, with India transiting to a more efficacious and involved institutional functioning, or is this an instance of strained institutional performance in the face of rising popular aspirations and tighter executive controls? The paper tries to explore this theme by looking at the functioning of the EC and its efforts towards voter participation in India.

Summary/Abstract |
By the time this article is read, India would be in the midst of what is being touted as the biggest elections in the history. Around 81.4 crore Indians from all across the country have registered to cast their vote, which is 10 crore more voters from the previous General Elections in 2010. As per the planning of the Election Commission (EC), the polling will be conducted in nine phases from April 7 to May 14 in 543 constituencies. In other words, the country will witness one of the biggest security operations in recent times. It’ll also be a test for the cooperation between state law and order machinery and the central paramilitary forces.
