The State Election Commission is responsible for conducting elections to the:
Panchayats and Municipalities
The State Election Commission (SEC) is a constitutional body created under Articles 243K and 243ZA of the Constitution, added by the 73rd and 74th Amendments.
It is responsible for the superintendence, direction and control of elections to the Panchayats (rural local bodies) and Municipalities (urban local bodies).
Elections to the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, State Assemblies and the offices of President and Vice-President are conducted by the Election Commission of India, not the SEC.
Hence, the State Election Commission conducts elections to the Panchayats and Municipalities.
