Crisis of Credibility
(Electoral Integrity and Democratic Values in India’s Electoral System)
Author :Dr. Kundan Kumar
Abstract
There have been multiple reports of purported anomalies and heightened partisanship in Indian elections in recent years. Voter manipulation, erroneous and duplicate electoral records, and the Election Commission’s purported prejudice are among the persistent issues that have cast doubt on the Commission’s independence, impartiality, and democratic legitimacy. People’s faith in democratic values is being undermined by this. Furthermore, there are still issues with the criminalization of politics and unrestrained party spending. The need for election reforms in India has once again become imperative due to these considerations.
Keywords : Voters, Democratic values, Credibility, Transparency, Election Commission of India.
