Which of the following is NOT a function of the Election Commission of India?
Recognising political parties and allotting election symbols
Conducting elections to Panchayats and Municipalities
Preparing electoral rolls for elections to Parliament
Conducting the election to the office of Vice-President
Answer and explanation
Elections to Panchayats and Municipalities are conducted by the State Election Commission under Articles 243K and 243ZA, not by the Election Commission of India. Article 324(1) gives the Election Commission of India the elections to Parliament, State Legislatures and the offices of President and Vice-President, with the electoral rolls for them, and it recognises parties and allots symbols under the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968.
