SRINAGAR: Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Monday said India was leading the world’s major democracies with a transparent electoral process in which every stage of the exercise is audited by the political parties and candidates.
“We discussed the components of the world’s most transparent electoral process –” preparation of the voter list, polling and counting. These are concurrently audited by all political parties and candidates,” Kumar, who is on a three-day visit to Kashmir, told reporters here.
Earlier in the day, Kumar addressed a gathering of booth-level officers (BLOs) in Budgam district, about 12 km from Srinagar.
