Explanation:

Article 324 envisages the constitution of the Election Commission of India (ECI). Article 324 provides power to ECI for the superintendence, direction and control of the preparation of the electoral rolls.

Article 324 empowers also the Election Commission of India to issue rules and guidelines for conducting elections for Parliament, President, Vice President and State Legislature Assemblies in the country.
