The Election Commission of India (ECI) is a permanent constitutional body established in accordance with Article 324 of the Constitution on 25th January 1950, not 1952. Initially, it was a single- member body. The multi-member concept with a Chief Election Commissioner and two Election Commissioners, deciding by majority vote, came into effect on October 1, 1993, following amendments in 1990 and 1993. Smt. Rama Devi was the first and so far the only woman Chief Election Commissioner, serving from 1990 to 1990. The tenure of the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners is six years or until they attain the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier, not five years or 60 years.
