End Constitutional Immunity for Electoral Misconduct
Bring the Chief Election Commissioner and the Election Commission of India under judicial review for actions that affect the integrity of any general or state election.
No name, email or phone collected. One click. Public count only.
The Demand
The Chief Election Commissioner cannot remain the last and only word on whether an election was fair. We demand that any action of the ECI affecting voter rolls, booth allocation, EVM custody, or model-code enforcement be subject to expedited judicial review within 30 days of complaint.
Why This Matters
When citizens are charged under sweeping statutes like UAPA, immunity is not on the menu. When a constitutional officer is alleged to have looked the other way during a contested election, the entire system shrugs. The asymmetry is the problem.
A democracy that punishes ordinary speech severely while shielding electoral conduct from review is not a democracy that can self-correct.
Context
Voter deletions running into the lakhs, polling-booth reshuffles announced days before voting, and partisan model-code enforcement have all been documented by independent observers in successive election cycles. In each case the ECI’s answer has been: trust us.
Trust is not a substitute for accountability. Neither is the constitutional ranking of the office.
