Question

The headquarters of the Election Commission is situated at _______.
A. Chennai
B. Mumbai
C. Hyderabad
D. New Delhi

Answer 1

Hint: The Election Commission of India is a self-ruling protected power answerable for directing election measures in India at public and state. The body oversees elections of the two Houses of Parliament, Legislative Assemblies, authoritative Councils, and the offices of the President and Vice President of the nation.

Complete answer:
According to Article 324, the Election Commission works under the authority of the Constitution, and in this manner establishes a representation of the People Act. The commission has the forces under the Constitution, to act in a proper way when the instituted laws make inadequate arrangements to manage a given circumstance in the lead of an election. Being an established power, Election Commission is among a couple of foundations that work with both self-rule and opportunity, alongside the Union Public Service Commission and the Comptroller and Auditor General of India. The commission was set up in New Delhi in the year 1950.

Thus, option (D) is correct.

Additional information: Two extra Commissioners were designated to the commission unexpectedly on 16 October 1989 (just before the 1989 General Election), however, they had a short residency, finishing on 1 January 1990. "The Election Commissioner Amendment Act, 1989" was received on 1 January 1990 which transformed the commission into a multi-part body: a 3-part Commission has been in activity from that point forward and the choices by the commission are made by a majority share vote.

Note: The Chief Election Commissioner of India can be removed from their office similar to the removal of a judge of the Supreme Court of India which requires a resolution passed by the Parliament of India that gets a two-thirds majority in both the Houses on the grounds of proved misbehavior or incapacity. The President of India can also remove the other election commissioners on the recommendation of the Chief Election Commissioner.
