Even after the preparation of the final electoral roll, if it is found that some eligible citizens have not been included, their names shall also be added to the roll. — Sukumar Sen, the country’s first Chief Election Commissioner, *Amrita Bazar Patrika*, 27 November 1949. During elections, tension often arises; as a result, people may be driven to unfair conduct and their normal mental disposition may deteriorate. We must remain cautious in this regard. Regardless of which party we may be associated with, we must maintain decorous and civil behaviour. We should face the general elections with a cheerful mind, and even towards those who oppose us, we must not harbour any ill will. — Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, *Anandabazar Patrika*, 23 November 1951. Please remember! Unfit political personalities will be elected by the country’s responsible citizens if those citizens do not participate in the voting process. — *Amrita Bazar Patrika*, 10 January 1952.
