Answer 2

No, the Chief Election Commissioner is not answerable to the President or to the Government:

• In India the elections are supervised by the Election Commissioner (EC), he is a very powerful and independent individual just like the judiciary of India.
• Although appointed by the President, the EC is not answerable to him or the Indian Government.
• The EC has many responsibilities, like laying out the election procedure, counting the votes, declaring the winner, keeping a check on candidates, punishing candidates who go against the rules, etc.
• When on election duty, all government officials work under the EC and not under the government.
