The day-long conference provided a vital platform for dialogue and exchange between the Commission and prominent legal professionals from across the country.

The strategic engagement marks a significant step by the Election Commission in aligning its legal resources with the dynamic landscape of electoral jurisprudence in India.

As per the ECI, the discussions focused on enhancing the preparedness, efficiency, and coordination of the Commission's legal team, with particular emphasis on issues related to election law, judicial proceedings, and legal reforms.

Through this interaction, the Commission sought to reinforce the effectiveness of its legal representation across various judicial forums.

This unique initiative will unify all the ICT initiatives of ECI under a single umbrella, the release added. (ANI)
