The CEC presides over the Election Commission, but does not have more powers than the other ECs. The CEC
and the two ECs have equal powers to take all decisions relating to elections as a collective body. They are
appointed by the President of India on the advice of the Council of Ministers. It is therefore possible for a ruling
party to appoint a partisan person to the Commission who might favour them in the elections. This fear has led
many to suggest that this procedure should be changed. Many persons have suggested that a different method
should be followed that makes consultation with the leader of opposition and the Chief Justice of India necessary
for the appointment of CEC and ECs. The Constitution ensures the security of the tenure of the CEC and ECs.
They are appointed for a six-year term or continue till the age of 65, whichever is earlier. The CEC can be
removed before the expiry of the term, by the President if both Houses of Parliament make such a
recommendation with a special majority. This is done to ensure that a ruling party cannot remove a CEC who
refuses to favour it in elections. The ECs can be removed by the President of India.

c) Chief Electoral Commissioner d) Candidate Election Cabinet
