CEC Kumar directed them to maintain a level playing field by working together to achieve free, fair, and inducement-free elections.
He went on to say that the ECI was “increasingly concentrating on having a humane face, by facilitating and including persons with disabilities, senior citizens who are 80 years or above and particularly vulnerable tribal groups with the help of special provisions such as home voting and accessible polling stations.”
EC Goel also reminded observers that they are the ECI’s eyes and ears and should respond to complaints promptly.
According to EC Pandey, the elections must not only be fair but also be perceived to be fair.
