ORDER
Dated Aizawl, the 9th October, 2019
Subject: Restriction on number of vehicles and
people at the time of filing and scrutiny of nominations.
Whereas the State
Election Commission is of the view that a large number of vehicles and people
accompanying some of the candidates at the time of filing of nominations and
scrutiny of nominations may cause serious concern about general order in the
office of the Returning Officer for the
First General Election to Sinlung hills Council, 2019. Keeping this in view,
the Commission hereby orders that the maximum number of vehicles to be allowed
to come within a periphery of 100 metres of the Returning Officer’s office is
restricted to 2 (two) per candidate and the maximum number of persons that can
be allowed to enter the office of the Returning Officer at the time of filing
of nomination and scrutiny of nomination is also limited to 4 (four) viz. the
candidate, an election agent, one proposer of each candidate and one other
person duly authorized by each candidate, and no other persons.
Any violation to this
order at the time of filing of nomination papers and scrutiny of nominations
will be seriously viewed by the Commission and action will be taken against the
candidate or his party responsible for violation.
