These suggested reforms encompassed a wide spectrum of electoral processes, seeking to address various challenges and loopholes prevalent in the existing system. One of the key proposals included the introduction of stricter regulations on political funding to ensure transparency and curb the influence of money in politics. Additionally, the Election Commission advocated for the implementation of electronic voting machines (EVMs) with paper trails to enhance the credibility and integrity of the electoral process. The proposed reforms also delved into the issue of criminalization in politics, urging for stringent measures to disqualify candidates facing serious criminal charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote

The Commission sent a proposal that the expenditure of the Commission should be charged\/ non-votable expenditure on the Consolidated Fund of India similar to other constitutional bodies.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Independent Secretariat:<\/strong>The Commission proposes that it should have an independent Secretariat along the lines of the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and Registries of the Supreme Court and High Courts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Proxy voting:<\/strong>Section 60 of The Representation of the People Act, 1951 should be amended to provide overseas electors the alternative option of proxy voting or postal ballot voting.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>The Commission proposes that making any false statement or declaration before the Election Commission should be an electoral offense.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>The Commission has proposed amendments and suggested dividing the seats in the Council of States and State Legislative Councils into three categories and specifying the term for each category in such a way that biennial retirement of 1\/3rd of the members would be ensured.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Use of totalizer for counting of votes:<\/strong>EVM totalizer can count votes of multiple Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) simultaneously.
