Art. 248 · Part 24

Election Commission Formation

निर्वाचन आयोग गठन
Original Text

The Election Commission consists of a Chief Election Commissioner and up to 4 commissioners, appointed by the President on recommendation of the Constitutional Council. Term: 6 years, non-renewable.

💡 Plain Language Explanation

The ECN has up to 5 members (Chief + 4 commissioners), appointed via the Constitutional Council for 6-year non-renewable terms. They cannot be party members and must have experience in law, management, or election administration. The single-term rule means commissioners don\'t need to please anyone for reappointment.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

निर्वाचन आयोग: प्रमुख + ४ आयुक्त। संवैधानिक परिषद्को सिफारिसमा नियुक्त। ६ वर्ष, दलसदस्यता निषेध।

✅ Strengths

Non-renewable terms and party membership ban protect electoral independence.

⚠️ Concerns

Constitutional Council appointment means the ruling party influences who oversees elections.
