Common Electoral Roll

 Common Electoral Roll

Voting concept in flat style — Stock Vector

Greetings, 


The PMO held a conference with Law Ministry, Election Commission to discuss the possibilities of having a common electoral roll. 

It will be used for elections of panchayat, municipality, state assembly and Lok sabha as well. 


In States such as Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh State election Commissions prepare their own list of Voters for Panchayat and Municipality elections.

Register to Vote

Election Commission (EC) set up in 1950, is responsible for polls for offices of President, Vice President, Parliament and State Assemblies. 
State EC are autonomous and do not need to consult with Election Comission for administrative purposes. 


Some State allow SECs to borrow and use ECs list, while other states use ECs list for revision of their own voter list.


Currently A.P., M.P., U.P., Assam, J&K, Kerala, Odisha do not take Election Commission's help for preparing their voters list.

Simultaneous elections will save enormous amount of energy, as preparing separate voters list for center and state is wastage of time, money and other resources.


Common Electoral Roll was recommended by Law Commission in 2015. 




Let's hope that India adopts C.E.R., saving time and energy.


Thank You for reading this article.

INDIA'S POSITION IN MANUCFACTURING GOODS WORLDWIDE

INDIA'S POSITION IN MANUCFACTURING GOODS WORLDWIDE Many think that in the aftermath of the pandemic, several manufacturing companies operating from China will relocate their businesses to other destinations, including India.      Many American, Japanese, and South Korean companies based in China have initiated discussions with the Indian government to relocate their plants to India. Companies are expected to exit China due to three primary reasons. The fi rst is the realisation that  relying heavily on China for building capaci ties and sourcing manufacturing goods is not  an ideal business strategy due to supply  chain disruptions in the country caused by  COVID­19.  The second is the fear of Chinese  dominance over the supply of essential in dustrial goods.  The third is the growing risk  and uncertainty involved in operating from  or dealing with China in the light of geopolit ical and trade confl icts between China and...

Medical experts also point that masks should be mandatory in public spheres. But the base of this rule comes from supreme court's rule in 2019.  In many states Mask is mandated under the guidelines of National Disaster Management Act.  Violation of such guidelines can lead to imprisonment up to 6 months or fine up to Rs.1000.
