ORDER

 

Dated Aizawl, the 16th January, 2025

 

                        Whereas, there is every likelihood that during the course of campaign in the General Election  to Village Councils within Aizawl, Lunglei, Serchhip, Champhai, Mamit, Kolasib, Saitual, Khawzawl and Hnahthial District to be held on 12th February, 2025, the Political Parties may mobilize their supporters, including from outside the Village Council Constituencies 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 Constituencies and who are not voters from the Village Council Constituencies 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 4:00 PM of 10th February, 2025 and 4:00PM of 12th February, 2025 no campaign should take place within the Village Council Constituencies where General Election is being held and Political functionaries / Party workers / Procession functionaries / Campaign functionaries etc., who have been brought from outside the Village Council Constituencies 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 4:00 PM of 10th February, 2025. This Order shall be brought to the notice of all Political Parties, Candidates and their Agents in order to enable them to comply.
