OP Rawat appointed chief election commissioner: New CEC supports 'one nation, one poll,' linking Aadhaar to voter IDs

Firstpost  

Om Prakash Rawat was on Sunday appointed the next chief election commissioner, a day before the present incumbent Achal Kumar Jyoti demits charge. Om Prakash Rawat was on Sunday appointed the new chief election commissioner, a day before the incumbent CEC Achal Kumar Joti demits charge. Rawat, according to The Economic Times, also supports linking of Aadhaar to voters’ identity cards as “it would establish the identity before a voter enters the booth and accesses an Electronic Voting Machine ”. The new CEC told The Economic Times that his priority will be to have a continuity of delivering free, fair and credible elections “through the engagement of all stakeholders and to build consensus on poll reforms.” Rawat takes over as the new CEC at the time when the Election Commission’s image has been tarnished as political parties in the last few months have raised questions over the reliability of EVMs and some also accused the commission of being an “agent of the ruling party”.
