Four phases (out of five) of the Indian general election to the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian Parliament, were executed under his supervision in April and May 2009.
<p><span style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-family: open_sans; font-size: 16.5492px; text-align: center;">NAVIN CHAWLA has had a ringside view of Indian elections. As chief election commissioner, he supervised the landmark 2009 general election and several key state elections as well. Drawing on his wide-ranging experience, this book presents a riveting account of how the daunting task of conducting the largest electoral exercise in the world is undertaken. He also sheds light on the other issues India faces in conducting polls due to its size, population, geographical diversity and the challenges posed by the people in power.</span></p><p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"var(--font-body)","serif"">With the 2024 elections just round the corner, Every Vote Counts is a book that every concerned and interested Indian must read.<o:p></o:p></span></p><section id="shopify-section-template--16768202965284__main" class="shopify-section main-product-section" style="font-family: open_sans; overflow: hidden; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-size: 16.5492px;"><div class="product animation animation--product product--has-sticky-scroll is-visible" data-section-id="template--16768202965284__main" data-section-type="product" data-current-product-id="46922031595812" data-product-has-only-default-variant="true" data-enable-sticky-product-details="true" data-gallery-size="large" data-is-full-product="true" style="--swatch-size:48px; max-width: calc(var(--max-width) + calc(var(--space-outer) * 2)); margin-top: 0px; --product-meta-top:-161px;"><div class="product__bottom"><div class="left-side-blocks for-mobile" style="margin-top: 101.781px; padding: 0 var(--space-outer);"><div class="product__description product__block product__block--medium" style="width: 730.219px; margin-bottom: var(--spacing-6);"><div class="rte rte--product ff-body fs-body-100" style="font-weight: var(--font-body-weight); font-style: var(--font-body-style); line-height: var(--line-height-body); letter-spacing: var(--font-body-base-letter-spacing); font-size: 14px !important; text-align: center !important;"><div id="for_mobile_description" style="margin: var(--spacing-7) 0;"><div class="accordion " style="margin: var(--spacing-7) 0;"><div class="accordion__inner" data-index="" data-open="true" style="border-top: 1px solid var(--color-border); border-bottom: 1px solid var(--color-border); margin: var(--spacing-7) 0;"><div class="accordion__content fs-body-100 rte non-page-rte measure" aria-hidden="false" id="accordion-content-description" style="padding-bottom: var(--spacing-6); font-size: var(--font-size-body-100); max-width: var(--max-width-narrow); margin: var(--spacing-7) 0;"><p style="font-family: var(--font-body); margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: var(--font-body-weight); font-style: var(--font-body-style); line-height: var(--line-height-body); letter-spacing: var(--font-body-base-letter-spacing);"><br></p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="product__description product__block product__block--medium" style="width: 730.219px; margin-bottom: var(--spacing-6);"><div class="rte rte--product ff-body fs-body-100" style="font-weight: var(--font-body-weight); font-style: var(--font-body-style); line-height: var(--line-height-body); letter-spacing: var(--font-body-base-letter-spacing); font-size: 14px !important; text-align: center !important;"></div></div></div></div></div></section><div id="shopify-section-template--16768202965284__loox-product-reviews-app-section" class="shopify-section" style="font-family: open_sans; overflow: hidden; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-size: 16.5492px;"><div class="section" style="position: relative; max-width: calc(var(--max-width) + calc(var(--space-outer) * 2)); padding: var(--spacing-10) var(--space-outer); margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"><div id="shopify-block-loox-product-reviews" class="shopify-block shopify-app-block" style="padding: 15px;"></div></div></div><p><br style="font-family: open_sans; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-size: 16.5492px; text-align: center;"></p>
