ELECTION SYSTEM OF INDIA

Problems in Election System of India

After analyzing my Field and Desk Research till 23rd April, 2016, I came up with all these problems in Election System of India.

After analyzing all the Desk & Field Research; and understanding Problems in the Election System of India I came up with this Problem Assessment Matrix which helped me to RE-DEFINE my Problems Statement and confine me area of work.

So from this Matrix, it can be clearly seen that "LESS VOTE PERCENTAGE" is one of the biggest problems in Election.

Final Aim [Re-Defining Problem Statement]

After all the Desk Research, Field Research and Analysis....my aim is not any more to Re-Design the Election System as a whole.. M narrowing down my Process by
AIMING to "Increase the Vote Percentage in Elections".

so my RE-DEFINED Problem Statement is:

How to increase the Vote Percentage in General Elections of India, such that honest and passionate candidates can be elected who are aware or can be aware about the system and their role in the govt. and really have the potential to represent and work for the public through their merit, understanding and good leadership qualities such that they can make the democratic govt. work properly, ideally and practically for the people.

Election Commission

Election Commission operates under the authority of Constitution, and subsequently enacted Representation of the People Act.
The Commission issued the code for the first time in 1971 (5th Election) and revised it from time to time.
A law regarding to the registration process for political parties was enacted in 1989 and number of parties got registered with the Commission. It helps to avoid confusion of the administrative machinery and the electorate and ensures that political parties are brought under the purview of the election commission. To get rid of the growing influences and vulgar show of money during elections the Election Commission has made many suggestions in this regard. The Election Commission has fixed the legal limits on the amount of money which a candidate can spend during election campaigns. These limits have been revised from time to time. The contestants are also required to give details of expenditure within 30 days of declaration of results.
The Election Commission had tried to bring improvements in election procedures by introduction of EVM – Electronic voting machines. It was thought that EVMs would reduce malpractices and improve efficiency.
NOTA (none of the above) was also an option on Indian voting machines in 2014 Lok Sabha elections and now it is a mandatory option in every subsequent elections.
Photo voter slips would be provided to voters. Bihar became the first state to have photo electoral rolls, with photographs of candidates on EVMs in Bihar Legislative Assembly election, 2015.
