Background:

Electoral Reforms are thought to be the most essential reforms in the present day Indian scenario. Electoral reforms have been talked about for the last 50 years. The latest Supreme Court judgements making it necessary for candidates to give information about educational qualifications, assets and liabilities and criminal background, have resulted in renewed interest in the subject. It was from the year 1975, that different committees have been appointed to suggest electoral reforms and the same include Justice Tarkunde Committee, Dinesh Goswami Committee, Indrajeet Gupta Committee and Vora Committee.
