The Commission is a constitutional and autonomous body which has uses all the powers that derived from the Constitution under Article 324, Representation of People Act, 1950 and 1951 and the Rules made there under or any other statue to the ensure the free and fair election. Usually, the Election Commission played a vital role in the elections to the Lok Sabha and the State Legislature Assemblies, except of some cases.
