What is the jurisdiction of Election Commission of India over elections ?
Answer: C
The Election Commission's jurisdiction covers Parliament, state legislature, office of the President and Vice President.
Article 324(1) vests in the Election Commission the superintendence, direction and control of the preparation of electoral rolls for, and the conduct of, all elections to Parliament and to the legislature of every State and of elections to the offices of President and Vice-President.
Elections to local bodies, panchayats and municipalities, are conducted by the State Election Commissions under Articles 243K and 243ZA, so the option adding local bodies is wrong. The other two options leave out offices that Article 324 includes.
