8 Model Code of Conduct India has Model Code of Conduct (MCC) for candidates and Political Parties It proved a very potent instrument creating level playing for the candidates and political parties. It also ensures ruling party not to take advantage of government machinery in anyway. Violation are adjudicated by ECI summarily on the basis of facts. Regulation of conduct is done through the deputation of election related staff. There is stress on self regulation by the media too There is demand to make the existing arrangement more accountable. Press Council of India and National Broadcaster s Association have framed guidelines for media during election period. ECI has the task of oversight over manifestoes where announcement of sops should conform to guidelines issued under MCC. MCC is a unique document which has no statutory backing but only moral. Judiciary has given teeth to the ECI and ruled that MCC can be enforced by the ECI under Constitutional power from the date Commission announces the schedule of election.

22 International Training since INDIA INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DEMOCRACY AND ELECTION MANAGEMENT (IIIDEM) was established in 2011 as a response to and recognition of the long felt need for developing capacity and promoting professionalism in the management of elections. Since its inception, it has conducted 16 international training events/workshops on various aspects of election management, including the following: Ten country-specific training programmes for electoral officials from a single country, such as Nepal, Kenya, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Maldives; Seven multi-lateral training programmes including South Asian Association for Regional Countries (SAARC) and Commonwealth countries. There are training programmes such as India s Technical & Economic Cooperation Programme (ITEC) and Special Commonwealth Assistance for Africa Programme (SCAAP), which are conducted in active collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India.

24 Modernisation (EVM with VVPAT/IT) The Electronic Voting Machine or the EVM is one of the significant features in elections. With consistent support of political parties, the Commission replaced the use of ballot boxes by the EVMs in It gave speed, efficiency, and visibility to the process. Selective introduction of Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail or VVPAT with the EVM in some constituencies has been appreciated by all the stakeholders.

25 In conclusion, technology is deployed by the ECI in a big way to reduce human biases. EVMs and VVPATs have been used. Online voter registration, setting up EVMs in presence of political party representatives, deployment of poll and counting staff through randomisation process, facilitation through toll free numbers, SMSs and a host of other initiatives have increased transparency in elections and the result is that the candidates accept defeat even if they lose by margin of a single vote. ECI has been able to achieve such high order of electoral integrity by improving procedures in a transparent manner with effective oversight of an independent judiciary and has been able to introduce new generation of technology with much less amendments to the laws framed by the Parliament in 1950 and 1951.

26 Judicial Support A quote from the Supreme Court Judgment: Where the existing laws are absent and yet a situation has to be tackled, the Chief Election Commissioner has not to fold his hands and pray to God for divine inspiration to enable him to exercise his functions and perform his duties or to look for any external authority for the grant of powers to deal with the situation. He must lawfully exercise his power independently, in all matters relating to the conduct of elections, and see that the election process is completed properly in a free and fair manner. -Supreme Court of India, in M.S. Gill and Anor V. Chief Election Commissioner and Ors, AIR 978 SC
