style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">India, the world&#8217;s largest democracy, boasts an electoral system that involves millions of citizens casting votes to shape the future of the nation. While the election process is largely celebrated for its inclusivity and scale, <strong>electoral deformities<\/strong> such as <strong>Delimitation<\/strong>, <strong>One Nation One Election (ONOE)<\/strong>, and <strong>Special Intensive Revision (SIR)<\/strong> of electoral rolls have started raising serious concerns.

The <strong>Election Commission of India (ECI)<\/strong> is the constitutional body tasked with overseeing these elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">However, despite these structures, India faces growing concerns about the <strong>fairness<\/strong> of its electoral process. Issues like <strong>Delimitation<\/strong>, <strong>One Nation One Election (ONOE)<\/strong>, and <strong>Special Intensive Revision (SIR)<\/strong> of electoral rolls threaten to undermine the core values of <strong>democracy<\/strong>, <strong>equality<\/strong>, and <strong>voter autonomy<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Electoral_Deformities_and_Concerns\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Key Electoral Deformities and Concerns:<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong> Delimitation Based on Population<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The <strong>Delimitation process<\/strong> involves redrawing constituency boundaries based on population.
