ECI to convene meeting of all state poll chiefs on February 24

New Delhi: election commission of india An all-state election commission (SEC) meeting will be held here on February 24 to discuss issues including sharing of ECI Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), electoral rolls and technological innovations like ECINet to enable smoother conduct of panchayat and municipal polls by the state election commissions.While the ECI is responsible for holding elections to the Lok Sabha, the House of Federation and the Assembly, the SEC, established under state laws under the 73rd and 74th Amendment to the Constitution, is tasked with holding elections to state panchayats and municipal bodies, in addition to the elections of the President and Vice-President.The SEC meeting, which was held after a gap of 25 years, was convened by CEC Gyanesh Kumar after several state poll committees approached him in the previous year to seek national-level deliberations to resolve the issue and coordinate discussions between the EC and SEC on issues such as eligibility of voters under the electoral law, borrowing ECI EVMs to hold local body polls and other issues.
