Chief Election Commissioner VS Sampath said, with the announcement of schedule for the two-phase poll in the North-Eastern states and by-polls in various states, the Model Code of Conduct will be in operation with immediate effect and EC will keep a strict vigil on any violation of the code.
The EC also announced by-elections to nine assembly constituencies in Mizoram, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Punjab on February 23 and in Assam, Bihar and Maharashtra on February 24, but their results will be out together on February 28.
The CEC said electronic voting machines will be used in elections to the three North-Eastern states as well as in by-elections in the seven states.
“The Commission will deploy general observers in adequate number to ensure smooth conduct of elections and appoint adequate number of expenditure observers and assistant expenditure observers to exclusively monitor election expenditure of contesting candidates,” he said.
As in Nagaland, Tripura and Meghalaya assemblies also have 60 seats each. While 10 are reserved for SCs and 20 for STs in Tripura, 55 assembly seats are reserved for STs in Meghalaya and 59 in Nagaland.
According to the EC notification, photo electoral rolls will be used in the forthcoming general elections and by-elections. Photo percentage in photo electoral rolls in Nagaland is 95.94%.
Deployment of Forces
Based on the assessment of the ground situation, the EC has said that Central Police Forces (CPF) and State Armed Police (SAP) drawn from other states will be deployed during the elections. The CPF and SAP will be used generally for safeguarding the polling stations, the electors, poll-material and the polling personnel. The Commission informed that it will be constantly monitoring the ground situation closely and will take appropriate measures to ensure peaceful, free and fair polls.
Poll Expenditure Monitoring
The Commission has also decided to appoint adequate number of Expenditure Observers and Assistant Expenditure Observers to exclusively monitor the election expenditure of the contesting candidates. For greater transparency and for ease of monitoring of Election Expenses, it has informed that candidates would be required to open a separate bank account and incur their election expenses from that very account.
