ORDER


Dated Aizawl, the 3rd October, 2024

 

            Whereas, there is every likelihood that during the course of campaign for General Election to Sinlung Hills Council 2024 to be held on 05.11.2024 (Tuesday), Political Parties may mobilize their supporters, including from outside the Sinlung Hills Council Constituencies, 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 Sinlung Hills Council area and who are not voters from the Constituency concerned after Campaign Period ends may undermine the atmosphere for free and fair poll;

 

            Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 34 of the Sinlung Hills Council Act, 2018 as amended read with sub-rule (1) of Rule 3 of the Mizoram (Election to Sinlung Hills Council) Rules, 2019, 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 03.11.2024 and 4:00PM of 05.11.2024, no campaign should take place within Sinlung Hills Council area where General Election is being held and Political functionaries/Party workers/Procession functionaries/Campaign functionaries etc., who have been brought from outside Sinlung Hills Council area and who are not voters of the Sinlung Hills Council Constituencies concerned, should not continue to remain present in the said Sinlung Hills Council.

 

            The Commission, further, orders that the District Election Administration and Police Administration shall ensure that all such functionaries leave the Sinlung Hills Council area immediately after the Campaign period is over at 4:00 P.M. of 03.11.2024. This Order shall be brought to the notice of all Political Parties, Candidates and their Agents in order to enable them to comply.
