The Election Commission of India (ECI) was established on January 25, 1950, the day after the signing of the Constitution and on the eve of the first Republic Day. The Constituent Assembly gave constitutional status to the Commission under Article 324 so that it could function with complete independence. The capability, impartiality and credibility of this institution is visible in the 17 Lok Sabha elections held so far, 16 elections for the posts of President and Vice President, 399 assembly elections. There has never been a dispute regarding the election results in India and the respective High Courts have been giving decisions on different election petitions. The Foundation Day celebrated on 25 January is also celebrated as National Voters Day (NVD) since 2011. Its purpose is to inform the citizens of India what are their rights and responsibilities as voters.https://newspaperswale.com/national-voters-day-special-it-is-not-enough-for-elections-to-be-free-fair-reliable-how-voters-can-shape-the-future-of-democracy/
