Divya Delhi : Democracy, especially an election system, is only credible if everyone sees it as fair, even the loser. This is like a court case or sports event. Trust breaks down if losers believe the process was manipulated. Rahul Gandhi, Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition, is making severe claims against the Election Commission of India (ECI). He expects to expose further inconsistencies in the 2024 general election. Wait for the claims' specifics before judging them. Political parties have previously attacked the ECI. Narendra Modi, Gujarat's Chief Minister, constantly questioned the ECI's impartiality. Political parties and leaders use many of these ECI allegations to incite followers. Tejashwi Yadav, Bihar's State Assembly Leader of Opposition, claims his name is missing from the ECI's draft electoral record. The Elector's Photo Identity Card (EPIC) number he believed was his differs from the ECI records, which has caused further dispute. Only when warranted should politicians dispute the election process. Representative democracy depends on electoral trust. Rather than boosting public trust and openness, the ECI's recent remarks and actions generate greater doubts. Roll preparation, election scheduling, code of conduct enforcement, counting, and complaint resolution evaluate its efficiency and impartiality. Each accusation is against the ECI. Other than arguing that electronic voting machines (EVM) are untamperable and that political parties should object to rolls at the right moment, the ECI has declined to address several problems. One of three pieces of an Electronic Voting mechanism, the Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) mechanism, has not been transparent. Unlike the Ballot Unit and Control Unit, the VVPAT has centrally installed software linked to the control unit. Randomly tallying the VVPAT with electronic votes is now rather arbitrary. All political parties cannot watch the election process equally. The election procedure is not negotiated between parties and the ECI. Political parties are important, but the true issue is reassuring the public of election integrity. To achieve that, the ECI must change direction.
