Election Commission asked to provide the voter registration figures
4 Jul, 2013Sir,
A historic decision was delivered by the Hon'ble Chief Information Commissioner on 06 June 2013 against Election Commission of India...in file no. CIC/SM/A/2013/900270 available on link below.
The sole regulator of expenditure limits of Indian Democracy (for political parties during elections) i.e. Election Commission of India doesn't know the amount spent by it on the celebration of 5,61,020 National Voters Day Functions, organised by it through the country on 25-1-2012. Secondly the ECI was unable to inform the CIC and the Appellant about the number of new electors enrolled in each of 28 States and 7 Union Territories of India (separately) during the one year period ending on 25-1-2012 thereby totaling to 3.80 crores.
With warm ragards,
Truely yours
