Let us talk a bit about about Election Commission Of India before CEOKarnataka

The National Election Commission is under the effective leadership of Harishankar Brahma, who is the Chief Election Commissioner at Secretariat, New Delhi. The Secretariat has nearly 300 officials. They in-turn monitor the work of State Election Commissions like CEO Karnataka.

Harishankar Brahma is from the IAS cadre of Andhra Pradesh 1975 batch and is a retired IAS officer. His tenure at Election Commission of India started on 25th August, 2010.

Here are Harishankar Brahma, Chief Election Commissioner’s contact details:

Office Number: 011-23052137, 23052138

Office Fax Number: 011-23052139

Nearly two or three Deputy Election Commissioners and Director Generals work under the supervision of the Election Commissioner who are usually vide the National Civil Service. Directors, Principal Secretaries, Secretaries, Under Secretaries and Deputy Directors have the opportunity to serve as assistants under the Deputy Election Commissioners and Director Generals.

A State Election Commission like CEO Karnataka facilitates the work subdivision of the Chief Electoral Officer to District Electoral Officers, Electoral Registration Officers, Assistant Electoral Registration Officers, Returning Officers and Assistant Returning Officers and the Presiding or Polling Officers.

Collectors or District Magistrates usually hold the position of District Electoral Officers while the Electoral Registration Officers (also know as ERO) and the Assistant Electoral Registration Officers are the Sub-divisional magistrates.

Know a bit more about CEO Karnataka?

The CEO Karnataka takes up the major responsibility to conduct elections in a peaceful and proper manner in the State. He also makes sure whether the information regarding elections is reached properly to the people of the State.

The Chief Electoral Officer should be careful in such a way that no political parties take control in the polling areas and mismanage the rules and regulations of the Elections. Right from the day the dates of elections are announced in a State, the Chief Electoral Officer checks the availability of various items such as rubber stamps, Ballot papers and other items related to the Elections. He declares the day of the election as a holiday so that people would flow in for voting. He takes in the meetings of political parties to receive their complaints and suggestions.

He sends security forces to areas which may be affected by violence during the day of election. He also establishes Complaint Cell and Helpline to receive the grievances of the voters.

The major function of the Chief Electoral Officer, for instance, CEO Karnataka, during non-Elections period is the revision, preparation, modification of the Electoral Rolls (also called as Voter List) and issuing the Voter ID Card to the public and solving their problems. For any Voter ID Card related queries and information, refer our guides over here.

Who is the current CEOKarnataka?

The current CEO Karnataka is Mr. Anil Kumar Jha. He hails from the Karnataka cadre of 1988 batch IAS officer.

He was born on December 1st.1963 and he graduated in Economics. Karnataka recorded the highest number of voters for the Assembly Elections during his period.

How to contact your CEO Karnataka

The Chief Electoral Officer can be communicated in case the duties of District Electoral Officers, Electoral Registration officers and the Booth Level officers are not carried out properly. The District Electoral Officers, Electoral Registration officers and the Booth Level officers help in the submission of forms, answering the questions of the public, fetching them the Voter ID card and every other duty pertaining to Elections.

At the time of elections near  the polling area, some people start bribing you in monetary terms, liquor or fake promises so that you might vote for their party. Never get involved in such immoral activities. Moreover, there might be some thugs creating violence in the polling area to disturb the peaceful voting process. In all such cases, you should go and file a complaint with the complaint cell established by the Chief Electoral Officer or contact the Helpline and convey your grievances.

If the campaign of the political parties exceeds the time, usually allotted for campaigning before elections, even in such cases you can contact your State Chief Electoral Officer and give a complaint.
