The country is yet to have a specific law for appointing chief election commissioner and election commissioners though there is a constitutional provision for enacting a law for their appointment. In the absence of such a law, no specific criteria are there regarding the qualifications for appointment of CEC and election commissioners or what will lead to their disqualification, said officials of the Election Commission and the law ministry. At present, the government has no plan to enact a law with the current EC completing its four years today, they mentioned. The EC's tenure is five years and the current commissioners assumed office on February 15, 2017. The first EC was constituted in July 1972.
