ORDER

 

Dated Aizawl, the 11th June, 2024

            

            Whereas, there is every likelihood that during the course of campaign for By-Election to 12-Lawngtlai Chandmary MDC Constituency under Lai Autonomous District Council, 2024 to be held on 27.06.2024 (Thursday), Political Parties may mobilize their supporters, including from outside the MDC Constituency, in order to bolster their campaign; and

 

            Whereas, the Commission is of the view that continued presence of Political functionaries/Party workers/Procession functionaries/Campaign functionaries etc., who have been brought from outside the MDC Constituency and who are not voters from the MDC Constituency concerned after Campaign Period ends may undermine the atmosphere for free and fair poll;

 

            Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred under sub-rule (4) of Rule 142 of the Lai Autonomous District Council (Constitution, Conduct of Business, etc.) Rules, 2010 as amended and with a view to ensuring free and fair election, the State Election Commission hereby orders that within the period of 48 hours ending with the hours fixed for the close of Poll, i.e. between 5:00 PM of 25.06.2024 and 5:00 PM of 27.06.2024, no campaign should take place within the District Council Constituency where By-Election is being held and Political functionaries / Party workers / Procession functionaries / Campaign functionaries etc., who have been brought from outside the District Council Constituency and who are not voters of the District Council Constituency concerned, should not continue to remain present in the said 12–Lawngtlai Chandmary MDC Constituency.

 

            The Commission, further, orders that the District Administration and Police Administration shall ensure that all such functionaries leave the District Council Constituency immediately after the Campaign period is over at 5:00 PM of 25th June, 2024. This Order shall be brought to the notice of all Political Parties, Candidates and their Agents in order to enable them to comply.
