The Election Commission of India (EC) has delisted 334 political parties for failing to comply with the conditions of registration under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The action comes after a nationwide verification drive to ensure compliance with mandatory norms.
According to the Act, registered parties must submit details such as names, addresses, and particulars of office-bearers during registration and notify the EC of any changes. A party can also be delisted if it fails to contest any elections for six consecutive years.
In its order issued on Saturday, the EC stated that these 334 parties were found to be non-existent at their registered addresses after physical verification and had not contested any elections since 2019.
Election Commission Delists Political Parties for Non-Compliance
The EC had earlier directed Chief Electoral Officers (CEOs) of states and Union Territories to verify whether 345 Registered Unrecognised Political Parties (RUPPs) met the required conditions. Following inquiries, issuance of show-cause notices, and opportunities to respond, the EC concluded that 334 RUPPs were in violation of the rules and thus removed them from the list of registered parties.
