Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
he Election Commission of India or ECI is a constitutional body entrusted with the responsibility of administering the elections in India.
The Constitution of India clearly mentions the rules and regulations governing this body. Established in 1950, the Election Commission works with the principal objective of defining and controlling the course of elections held at various levels for the state legislatures, the Parliament and the offices of the Vice-President and the President of the country as per article 324 of the Constitution.
In its present form, the Election Commission consist of the Chief Election Commissioner and two Election Commissioners. The decision making will be done by majority vote.
THEN THE SEVEN RULES ARE...
Step One – Checking Registration
Before allowing a person to vote, poll workers must determine that he or she is a qualified elector in that precinct. For most voters the process is quite simple because their names appear on the list of registered voters. Whenever a prospective voter’s name does not appear on the list, additional steps are required to determine eligibility.
Step Two – Checking Identification
Voters must present one of the following forms of ID before they can vote:
A photo identification, such as:
a current and valid photo identification issued by the government,
a current and valid photo identification issued by the voter’s employer, or
a current and valid photo identification issued by a public or private college, university, or postgraduate technical or professional school located within the state.
Step Three – Signing the Poll List
All voters must sign a poll list unless they are illiterate or disabled, in which case assistance may be provided. Poll lists are provided in the election supplies. The lists are usually printed in the form of booklets with numbered lines on each page.
In primary elections there will be separate lists for each party. The poll list may contain a pledge of support for the party’s nominees, and by signing the poll list the voter is also signing the pledge. Electors may vote only in the primary of the party whose poll list they sign. When constitutional amendments are voted on during a primary, there should also be a poll list for persons who wish to vote only on the amendments.
Step Four – Recording Voter’s Name
The poll list clerk also records each voter’s name on a separate poll list, which is often titled “Names of Voters” but which will be referred to here as the “clerk’s poll list.” The clerk’s poll list must match the voters’ poll list in the number and order of names. Having a clerk record names ensures that voters can be identified in case of a contest, even if their signatures are illegible.
Step Five – The Act of Voting
Several steps are required for an elector to vote. Generally the voter marks the ballot by marking next to the candidates name in a box adjacent to the candidates name. However, every precinct is equipped with an electronic ballot machine with touch-the-screen computer style balloting to electronically record a vote on a ballot that is later fed into the ballot counter. Specific instructions are included in the election supplies.
