The Role of the Election Commission as a Guardian of Democracy | DAKSH Annual Lecture

DAKSH is excited to announce its Fourteenth Annual Constitution Day Lecture on 30 November 2025, at the Bangalore International Centre at 6:30 PM.

The guest speaker for the event is Dr. S. Y. Quraishi, Former Chief Election Commissioner of India.

Our Election Commission is responsible for conducting free and fair elections for over 900 million voters across a vast and diverse nation. Recent electoral cycles have raised questions about the Commission’s independence, impartiality, and ability to enforce the Model Code of Conduct uniformly. Questions about the preparation of voter rolls, the timing of rounds of elections and the handling of hate speech have sparked debates about whether this body is sufficiently insulated from executive influence. As we observe Constitution Day, it is crucial to examine how the framers envisioned the Election Commission and whether contemporary challenges require us to reimagine the institutional safeguards that protect the integrity of India’s electoral democracy.

 

Date: Sunday, November 30

Time: 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
