The Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023 is a significant legislation enacted to regulate the appointment, service conditions, and term of office for the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and Election Commissioners (ECs) in India. Replacing the 1991 Act, it introduces a structured selection process involving a Search Committee and a Selection Committee chaired by the Prime Minister, ensuring transparency and accountability. The Act mandates qualifications for appointees, fixes a six-year term or age limit of 65 years, and aligns their salaries with Supreme Court judges. It also safeguards their independence by outlining removal procedures akin to those for Supreme Court judges. This Act strengthens India’s electoral framework by institutionalizing fair and impartial governance of the Election Commission, a cornerstone of the country’s democratic process.
