Hi friend ,

Election Commission is an independent and powerful body that is responsible for conducting free and fair elections. It enjoys the same kind of independence that the judiciary enjoys .

The powers and functions of EC are:

1. EC takes decisions on every aspect of conduct and control of elections from the announcement of elections to the declaration of results.

2. It implements the code of conduct and punishes any candidate or party that violates it.

3. During the election period ,the EC can order the government to follow some guidelines ,to prevent use and misuse of governmental powers to enhance its chances to win elections ,or to transfer some government officials .

4. When on election duty ,government officers work under the control of EC and not the government.
