Detailed Solution

The President of India appoints the Chief Election Commissioner and the Election Commissioners. They have a six-year term or until they reach age 65, whichever is earlier. They have the same position, income, and benefits as the Judges of the Supreme Court of India. Only a resolution passed by the Parliament can remove the Chief Election Commissioner from office. The Election Commission of India is led by the Chief Election Commissioner of India, a body with the constitutional authority to organise elections to national and state legislatures, as well as the offices of the President and Vice-President, in a free and fair manner.
