- Preparation and revision of electoral rolls is primarily governed by the Representation of the People Act, 1950.
- The Election Commission's authority under Article 324 covers elections to Parliament, State Legislatures and the offices of President and Vice-President.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II (Polity; electoral reforms): Accurate rolls are the base of free and fair elections, and Article 324 gives the Election Commission plenary control over their preparation, with the RPA 1950 supplying the procedure. Shifting from one-time SIR to annual revision aims to keep rolls clean, but concerns over exclusion of genuine voters, documentation burdens and transparency persist. The way forward is clear verification norms, easy claims and objections, voter outreach and judicial or public oversight to protect the right to vote.
