What happened
The Election Commission of India (ECI) is facing scrutiny regarding its internal decision-making processes. Two of the three election commissioners, including Dr. Vivek Joshi, recorded objections on ECI matters at least 14 times over ten months. These objections concerned sensitive areas such as electoral rolls, voter registration processes, and access to the electoral database. The poll panel stated that these written observations were normal for a multi-member constitutional body.

The ECI has rejected suggestions that these internal notes indicate a breakdown in its functioning, maintaining that official decisions were unanimous and legally sanctioned.
The pressure surrounds the Election Commission's alleged conduct and integrity issues involving multiple political figures.
