Describe the constitution, powers and functions of the Election Commission of Nepal.

The constitutional entrenchment (Articles 245–247, the verified text): the Chief ElectionCommissioner and up to four Commissioners (the President's appointment on the Constitutional Council's recommendation); the six-year term, no reappointment (the commissioner→CEC's cumulative count), the 65 bar; the independence's guarantees (the salary- and-conditions' constitutional floor; the removal only on the constitutional-judges'-type grounds — the constitutional bodies' common design). The powers-and-functions (Article 246's ownlist):1. To conduct, supervise, direct and control the elections of the President, Vice-President, Federal Parliament, provincial assemblies and local bodies (the five mandates' one authority).2. The voters' lists' preparation-and-updating.3. The referendum on matters of national importance (per the Constitution's-and-federal-law's terms — the 1980's institutionalised heir).4. The candidacy's legitimacy — the final decision (the nomination's-and-disqualification's own adjudication, before the courts' writ).5. The cooperation's command: the Government, provinces and local levels must assist (the election-time state's mobilisation duty). Beside: the delimitation's implementation duty (Article 286's report-route), the code-of-conduct's issuance (the Act's power — Unit 5.3), and the election calendar's whole choreography. The EMB's typology (the exam's theory): the independent-model commission (Nepal's — the constitutionally-entrenched multi-member body) vs the governmental/executive model (the minister's-and-civil-servants' administration) vs the mixed/supervisory models — and the design's stakes: the incumbent's hand on the scale (the governing-party's EMB capture risk) vs the insulated referee.
