ORDER

 

Dated Aizawl, the 27th January, 2021

 

                        Whereas, there is every likelihood that during the course of campaign in the re-poll to reserved seat of Darlawn Venghlun Village Council, 2020 to be held on 5th February, 2021, the Political Parties may mobilize their supporters, including from outside the Village Council Constituency, in order to bolster that 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 Village Council Constituency and who are not voters from the Village Council 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 (1) of Rule 3 of the Mizoram (Election to Village Councils) Rules, 2014 with a view to ensuring free and fair elections, 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 4:00PM of 3rd February, 2021 and 4:00PM of 5th February, 2021, no campaign should take place within the Darlawn Venghlun Village Council Constituency where re-poll is being held and Political functionaries/Party workers/Procession functionaries/Campaign functionaries etc., who have been brought from outside the Village Council Constituency and who are not voters of the Village Council Constituency concerned, should not continue to remain present in the said Village Council Constituencies.

 

            The Commission, further, orders that the District Election Administration and Police Administration shall ensure that all such functionaries leave the Village Council Constituency immediately after the Campaign period is over at 4:00PM of 3rd February, 2021. This Order shall be brought to the notice of all Political Parties, Candidates and their Agents in order to enable them to comply.
