In a move to enhance transparency and accountability during the Lok Sabha elections, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued a directive to states, mandating the clear identification of printers and publishers on all political hoardings and election-related material. This decision comes as a response to increasing complaints about anonymous hoardings cluttering the public space. The EC's action aims to ensure that all political advertisements are traceable to their sources, thereby curbing the spread of misinformation and unaccounted for campaign material.
