ORDER

 

Dated Aizawl, the 17th April, 2023

 

            Whereas, there is every likelihood that during the course of campaign in General Election to Members of District Council under Chakma Autonomous District Council to be held on 9th May, 2023, 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 of 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 (5) of Rule 7 of the Chakma Autonomous District Council (Constitution, Conduct of Business, etc.) Rules, 2002 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 05:00 P.M. of 7th May, 2023 and 05:00 P.M. of 09th May, 2023, no campaign should take place within the District 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 Administration and Police Administration shall ensure that all such functionaries leave the District Council Constituency immediately after the Campaign period is over at 05:00 P.M. of 7th May, 2023. This Order shall be brought to the notice of all Political Parties, Candidates and their Agents in order to enable them to comply.
