EC staff to work late to provide prompt responses amidst opposition’s claims of stalling parliament over Vote Chori allegations!

Election Commission officials have reportedly directed staff to be prepared for extended working hours during the upcoming Parliament winter session. The move comes amid rising political tensions, with opposition parties expected to target the poll body over what they allege as “vote chori” in recent state elections. Sources suggest that the Commission is ramping up its internal review, documentation, and communication systems to respond promptly to any parliamentary queries or debates that may question the integrity of the electoral process. Senior officials have emphasized maintaining transparency and readiness to defend the Commission’s procedures and data before Parliament and the media. The directive for late working hours is seen as part of a broader attempt to ensure that all records, reports, and clarifications are accessible on demand, as the opposition prepares to make the poll panel’s accountability a central issue of the winter session.
