The Election Commission of India (ECI) has designated the 425 central observers deployed for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections and by-elections as "beacons of democracy." Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar emphasized their pivotal role in ensuring free, fair, and transparent elections.
Central observers are appointed by the ECI to oversee the electoral process, ensuring adherence to established guidelines and protocols. They operate under the direct control and discipline of the Commission from their appointment until the completion of the election process. Their responsibilities include monitoring the conduct of elections, addressing grievances, and ensuring the integrity of the electoral process.
The ECI's acknowledgment underscores the importance of impartial oversight in maintaining the sanctity of the democratic process. By highlighting the central observers as "beacons of democracy," the Commission reiterates its commitment to upholding the principles of fairness and transparency in the electoral process.
