In India, the Election Commission of India (ECI) is an independent constitutional body tasked with running the Union and State electoral systems.

  • Established on January 25, 1950, National Voters' Day, it was in compliance with the Constitution.
  • The commission's secretariat is located in New Delhi.
  • Elections to the State Legislative Assemblies, Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, and Indian presidential and vice presidential posts are managed by this body.
  • It does not deal with panchayat and municipal by-elections in the states, for which the Constitution of India sets up a special State Election Commission.
