Answer 1

President of India appoints the election commissioner on the advice of government of India. The office plays an important role in conducting free and fair elections in an impeccable manner.

He is responsible for eliminating corruption during voting and also takes stringent measures to control the booth capturing events that were quite rampant in the early days after independence.

As the power of the election commissioner increased, it started having a wonderful effect on the democratic idea of the country.
