Discussion
Which of the following statements is correct ?
Answer: A
The correct statement is that the Chief Election Commissioner and the State Election Commission are constitutional authorities.
The Election Commission of India, headed by the Chief Election Commissioner, is created by Article 324. The State Election Commission, which conducts panchayat and municipal elections, is created by Articles 243K and 243ZA, inserted by the 73rd and 74th Amendments. Both owe their existence to the Constitution.
The other statements are wrong. The State Election Commissioner is appointed by the Governor, not the President. The State Election Commission is independent of the Election Commission of India and not under its control, and the Constitution provides no appeal from it to the Election Commission of India.
