SRINAGAR: In continuation to the Election Commission of India's emphasis on fostering enhanced engagement with different stakeholders, it has initiated interactions with National and State political parties.

These interactions would provide a long-felt need of constructive discussions which enable National and State Party Presidents to share their suggestions and concerns directly with the Commission.

This initiative aligns with the Commission's broader vision of further strengthening the electoral process in accordance with the existing legal framework with all stakeholders.

Earlier, a total of 4,719 all-party meetings have been conducted including 40 meetings by CEOs, 800 by DEOs and 3879 by EROs engaging over 28,000 representatives of various political parties.
