The recent happenings in Rajya Sabha elections in Gujarat should be an eye opener for Election Commission. When the news channels showed video clips I was surprised to see the MLA showing the ballot paper to some one sitting in the wings ! I wonder how could the election commission or their officers allow such thing to happen ? Where is the sanctity of Election ? It is their duty to inform all the electors on the rules to be followed. India and Indians are not new for elections. Every citizen is aware of the basic rules followed while performing such an important task.
Another important query comes to my mind that is, why EC is not using electronic voting machine for such elections wherein the total number of voters is just 171. The entire
process from issue of Ballot papers to announcement of results could have been completed in few hours if electronic voting has been done. Electronic voting is used in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on regular basis.
I feel the CEC should look into these issues carefully and take adequate steps to rule out happening of such procedural lapses in future.
