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.

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.
