In this episode of Editors Unplugged, the panel examines the Election Commission’s reported dissent row and the questions it raises about institutional accountability. The discussion looks at reports that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi recorded objections on several decisions, including issues linked to electoral roll data, voter registration and changes to Form 6. The panel also examines the wider ‘vote chori’ debate and the question of how responsibility is determined when members of a multi-member constitutional body record differing views before final decisions. The Election Commission has said that differing views and observations are part of normal deliberations and maintained that decisions taken by the full Commission over the past year were unanimous.
