Quraishi Says Majority Rule Defines Election Commission Decisions

Former chief election commissioner S.Y. Quraishi said the CEC alone does not constitute the Election Commission, stressing that decisions require unanimity or a majority of the three members. He cited the 2008 Jammu and Kashmir elections, when a majority overruled the CEC. His remarks follow reports of 14 objections by two commissioners to actions under CEC Gyanesh Kumar.
