Functions of Election Commission

निर्वाचन आयोगको कार्य
Original Text

The ECN conducts, supervises, directs, and controls elections to the federal, provincial, and local levels. It also registers political parties, updates voter rolls, and delimits constituencies.

💡 Plain Language Explanation

The ECN does everything election-related: (1) runs federal, provincial, and local elections, (2) registers political parties, (3) maintains the voter list (18.1 million voters in 2082), (4) draws constituency boundaries, (5) enforces the election code of conduct, (6) resolves election disputes. From candidate registration to result declaration — it\'s all ECN.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

निर्वाचन आयोगले सबै तहको चुनाव सञ्चालन, दल दर्ता, मतदाता नामावली, निर्वाचन क्षेत्र सीमांकन गर्छ।

✅ Strengths

Single body managing all elections ensures consistent standards across all three tiers.

⚠️ Concerns

Managing 70,000+ polling stations across mountains and Terai is logistically staggering; ECN is chronically underfunded.
