India's Election Commission has since Independence played a key role in governing and conducting electoral politics. It has broadened its remit and depth of action since the 1990s. Using a series of case studies, this article explores the mechanism of regulatory development in current Indian politics, beholding first at measures that have attempted to limit the timing, conduct in addition to reporting of elections, and secondly at efforts to regulate voter, candidate and party immersion in the electoral process. This article assesses the consequences of this legislative extension for Indian electoral policy practice. While extremely political in terms of the implications of its judgments, the Election Commission has gained and maintained a public image as an independent entity that gives it the power to intervene with and regulate the conduct of elections. The aim of this article is to examine the basis for the usefulness of India's electoral commission in terms of its composition and remit, but also to investigate the degree to which it can be seen as extending its constitutional role. The provision of public benefits in a circumstance where governmental or electoral interference might have resulted in less desirable outcomes was known as a politically neutral entity
