ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA IN THE DATA-
DRIVEN AGE
Shreya Shreekant, [BA LLB Hons., GNLU, LLM in Intellectual Property Law, Queen

ABSTRACT
This article aims to scrutinize issues and legal provisions that are likely to
cause concern to voters in the current data-driven world. With India's data
protection law framework still being in very nascent stage, it becomes
imperative to look at loopholes in the existing draft bill and conduct of State
to evaluate whether political manipulation of voters is possible or not.
Central to democracy is free and fair elections and if loosely protected
sensitive data of citizens can be misused to micro-target individuals into
voter manipulation, it would sink our democratic electoral process.
The article seeks to discuss plausible issues that can arise in the electoral
sector by studying the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 as well as recent
electoral reforms and conduct of ECI.
