ORDER

 

Dated Aizawl, the 9th November, 2020

 

            Whereas, there is every likelihood that during the course of campaign in General Election  to Members of District Council under Lai Autonomous District Council to be held on 4th December, 2020, Political Parties may mobilize their supporters, including from outside the District Council 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 District Council Constituency and who are not voters from the District 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 (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 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 2nd December, 2020 and 4:00PM of 4th December, 2020, no campaign should take place within the Village Council Constituencies where General Elections are 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 District 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 2nd December, 2020. This Order shall be brought to the notice of all Political Parties, Candidates and their Agents in order to enable them to comply.
