Bill for the appointment
of the Chief Election Commissioner
Bill for the
appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and other election
commissioners, along with their terms of service
Election Commissioners (Appointment, Terms of Service, and Term of Office), including the Chief Election Commissioner The Rajya Sabha will hear the introduction of a bill. This Bill, which would replace the Election Commission Act of 1991, reflects a holistic vision of electoral reform rather than just a reorganization of the bureaucracy.
The Selection Committee's function
The Supreme
Court's Stance Criteria and Resignation and Removal Procedures for
Commissioners
The
Selection Committee's function
The
Selection Committee, a crucial entity, makes a recommendation for the CEC's
nomination prior to the President's ultimate decision. Under the direction of
this group, decisions are taken in accordance with the spirit and ideals of
democracy. The members of the selection
committee are:
(A) The
Chairperson, who is the Prime Minister.
(b) The
House of People's Leader of Opposition as a member
(c) A Union Cabinet Minister selected by the
Prime Minister
Position of the Supreme Court
Previously, the Supreme Court had ruled in favor
of an election commissioner selection committee, led by Justice KM Joseph. Until
Parliament enacts a specific statute, this body would also include the Chief
Justice of India. Particular emphasis was placed on Article 324(2) of the
Constitution throughout this discussion..
Standards and Conditions for
Commissioners
Emphasizing
the value of expertise in governance, a candidate for CEC or EC should have
held a post similar to a Secretary. Although they have a six-year term limit,
they must retire at the age of 65. To prevent reappointment, the Bill
stipulates that these commissioners won't be available for a second round.
The ECs' pay and benefits will now be comparable to those of a Supreme Court justice, reflecting the importance of the position. However, on divisive matters, the voice of the majority will be heard, enabling consensus decision-making..
Removal and Resignation
Removing officeholders is subject to strict regulations in order to preserve the integrity of the office. The dismissal process for the CEC is equivalent to that for a Supreme Court justice and is protected by a strict two-thirds majority motion approved by both Houses of Parliament. The CEC has the power to suggest that an Election Commissioner be fired in the regrettable event of disagreements. The CEC and ECs may submit their resignations to the President, the highest position, if circumstances so require.
