Question 3 of 5
3. Question
What kind of control does the Election Commission have over civil servants during an election?
- Election Commission monitors both the manner in which civil servants perform their election-related duties, and prevent activities which may be seen as partisan.

This means that bureaucrats engaged in the administrative aspects of elections, including police officers with law and order duties, are also amenable to the EC’s jurisdiction.
- This power enables the EC to monitor both the manner in which civil servants perform their election-related duties, and prevent activities which may be seen as partisan.

There have been instances of the EC transferring not only Returning Officers, but also Commissioners of Police and Superintendents of Police.
