(d) देशभरातील निवडणूका सुरळीत पार पाडणे.
पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option A ((a) and (c)).

Key Points:
• Constituency Delimitation: Delimitation and boundary charting of constituencies is performed by a dedicated statutory body, the Delimitation Commission, set up under Delimitation Acts pursuant to Article 82 and Article 170, not directly by the Election Commission alone.
• Election Expenses Regulation: Under Section 77 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, every candidate must keep a separate account of election expenses subject to strict statutory ceilings. The Commission regulates and scrutinizes expenses rather than permitting candidates total freedom.
• Valid Commission Roles: The Election Commission of India under Article 324 superintends, directs, and controls elections, and registers/recognizes political parties under Section 29A of the RPA, 1951.
• Conclusion: Statements (a) and (c) do not reflect the statutory roles of the Commission.
• Key Takeaway: Constituency delimitation is performed by the Delimitation Commission, and candidate election expenses are strictly capped, not unrestricted.
