Article 324 of the Constitution of India vests the superintendence, direction, and control of the preparation of the electoral rolls for, and the conduct of, all elections to Parliament and to the Legislature of every State and of elections to the offices of President and Vice-President held under the Constitution in a body known as the Election Commission. <\/section>\n
The Election Commission of India is an autonomous constitutional authority responsible for administering election processes in India. It is headed by the Chief Election Commissioner and comprises other Election Commissioners. <\/section>\n
While the Supreme Court can hear election petitions and resolve disputes, it does not have the overall superintendence and control of the election process itself. Parliament has the power to make laws relating to elections but does not conduct them. The Chief Election Commissioner is part of the Election Commission, but the superintendence, direction, and control are vested in the Commission as a whole, not solely in the Chief Election Commissioner. <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
