I am Adv. George Marx from TLRF. I am happy to share about the interesting facts about election. Election commission was formed in the year 1950 January 25th. Its an independent organisation. No political party, or official sector cannot interfere in its duties. It has the power to conduct election for MLA MP Governor. As per Indian constitution article 324, Constitution provides that the power of superintendence, direction and control of elections to parliament, state legislatures and till now its going on. 1st election commissioner was Sukumar Sen IAS. He conducted first Parliamentary election. Just like the facilities we have now, there was not much facilities in those days. He faced many issues in conducting the election due to lack of education among people. He started election work 6 months prior. As first step voters list was prepared. With 16000 field workers eligible voters were listed. Election took place from 1951 October to February 1952. For 489 MP posts, 1989 people participated and more than 55 political parties were involved. In the year 1949 ministry was formed under Nehru's leadership. Many ministers of that group started their party and participated in election. 196000 voting booths and 26 booths were given importance to women. With great challenge he conducted the election. Congress started their ruling under Nehru's leadership with 49% of seats. Sukumaran sen was in that position till 1958. He also 2nd parliamentary election in the year 1957. Mr. Sheshan understood the role better and he is the one who introduced different levels of rules and restrictions for election. Auditing of candidates of expenses was done. Night time campaign was banned. He introduced many changes.
