Question map
Which of the following is not among the functions of the Election Commission of India ?
Explanation
Under Article 324 of the Constitution, the Election Commission of India (ECI) is vested with the power of superintendence, direction, and control of elections to the Parliament, State Legislatures, and the offices of the President and Vice-President. This mandate includes the preparation and revision of electoral rolls for these specific elections.
However, elections to local bodies, such as Panchayats and Municipalities, are the responsibility of the State Election Commission (SEC), which was established under the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment Acts (Articles 243K and 243ZA). The ECI has no jurisdiction over the conduct of local body elections; hence, option D is not a function of the Election Commission of India.
