                    SUBJECT:	 ANNOUNCEMENT	 OF	 SCHEDULE	 FOR	 GENERAL	
                    ELECTIONS	 TO	 LOK	 SABHA	 AND	 LEGISLATIVE	
                    ASSEMBLIES	 IN	 ANDHRA	 PRADESH,	 ARUNACHAL

                 The	 five-year	 term	 of	 the	 16th	 Lok	 Sabha	 is	 due	 to	 expire	 on	 03rd	
         June,	2019.	Credible	elections,	conducted	at	regular	prescribed	intervals,	
         are	 the	 very	 soul	 of	 any	 democratic	 system.	 Article	 324	 of	 the	
         Constitution	 of	 India	 bestows	 the	 relevant	 powers,	 duties	 and	 functions	
         upon	 the	 Election	 Commission	 of	 India	 while	 Section	 14	 of	 the	
         Representation	 of	 the	 People	 Act,	 1951	 provides	 for	 the	 conduct	 of	 the	
         elections	 to	 constitute	 a	 new	 Lok	 Sabha	 before	 the	 expiry	 of	 its	 current	
         term.	 Taking	 into	 account	 these	 Constitutional	 and	 legal	 provisions,	 the	
         Election	Commission	of	India	has	made	comprehensive	preparations	for	
         the	conduct	of	elections	to	the	17th	Lok	Sabha	in	a	free,	fair	and	peaceful	
         manner.

    elections	 to	 the	 543	 Parliamentary	 Constituencies	 (PCs)	 and,	 in	
    particular,	 the	 parameters	 to	 be	 considered	 for	 their	 scheduling	 and	
    phasing,	the	Election	Commission	of	India	has	planned	meticulously	for	
    each	and	every	aspect	of	election	much	in	advance	to	ensure	that	these	
    elections	are	conducted	in	best	professional	manner.	
4. The	 Commission	 organized	 a	 series	 of	 meetings	 with	 the	 Chief	
    Electoral	 Officers	 (CEOs)	 of	 all	 the	 36	 States	 and	 Union	 Territories	
   (UTs)	 to	 review	 all	 the	 aspects	 of	 election	 preparedness	 in	 all	 the	
   States	 and	 UTs	 and	 accordingly,	 appropriate	 instructions	 were	 issued	
   to	the	CEOs	for	ensuring	efficient	conduct	of	the	elections.	
5. The	 Commission	 also	 held	 meeting	 with	 the	 Chief	 Secretaries,	
   Directors	 General	 of	 Police,	 Home	 Secretaries,	 Chief	 Electoral	 Officers	
   and	Police	Nodal	Officers	 of	 all	 States	 and	 UTs	 on	 21 s t ,	 22 n d 	 &	 28 t h	
    January,	 2019,	 to	 assess	 the	 overall	 law	and	 order	 situation,	 ascertain	
    State/	 UT	 specific	 areas	 of	 concern,	 t o 	 deliberate	 on	the	quantum	of	
    Central	Armed	Police	Forces	(CAPFs)	required	in	each	State/	UT	and	to	
    review	 the	 overall	 preparedness	 of	 the	 election	 machinery.	 The	
   cooperation	of	 all	 authorities	 was	 sought	 for	 conducting	 free,	 fair	 and	
   peaceful	      elections	      across	     the	    country,	      under	     the	    overall	
   superintendence,	direction	and	control	of	the	Commission.	
6. The	 Commission	 has	 visited	 different	 States	 to	 review	 the	 poll	
   preparedness.	 During	 these	 visits,	 the	 Commission	 interacted	 with	
   political	 parties,	 enforcement	 agencies,	 all	 District	 officers,	 SSPs/SPs,	
   Divisional	 Commissioners,	 Range	 IGs	 and	 Chief	 Secretaries,	 Home	
   Secretaries,	DGPs	and	other	Senior	officers	of	the	States.	
7. The	 	 	 conduct	 	 	 of	 	 	 General	 	 	 Elections	 	 	 in	 	 	 the	 	 	 entire	 	 	 country			
    requires	considerable	deployment	of	Central	and	State	Police	Forces	to	
    ensure	 peaceful,	 free,	 fair	 election	 with	 fearless	 participation	 of

        electors,	 especially	 in	 the	 vulnerable	 areas/	 pockets.	 Mobilization,	
        deployment	 and	 disengagement	 of	 these	 forces	 with	 minimum	 criss	
        cross	 movement	 and	 optimal	 utilization,	 involved	 complex	 planning	
        and	detailed	analysis,	carried	out	over	several	rounds	of	consultations	
        with	the	senior	officers	of	the	Ministry	of	Home	Affairs/	CAPFs/	Police	
        Nodal	 Officers	 of	 the	 States/	 UTs.	 The	 Commission	 also	 held	
        discussions	 with	 the	 Union	 Home	 Secretary	 to	 highlight	 the	 areas	 of	
        coordination	for	effective	deployment	of	these	forces.	
     8. The	 Commission	 also	 held	 meeting	 with	 Railway	 and	 many	 others	 in	
        regard	 to	 the	 specific	 requirements	 of	 special	 trains,	 including	 other	
        logistics,	 for	 smooth	 and	 timely	 movement	 of	 CAPF	 Companies	 and	
        other	 police	 forces	 across	 States/	 UTs,	 including	 their	 intra-State	
        shifting	during	the	election	period.	
     9. Keeping	 in	 view	 the	 interests	 of	 the	 students	 and	 also	 the	 fact	 that	
        Polling	Stations	are	mostly	located	in	school	buildings	and	teachers	are	
        engaged	 as	 polling	 personnel,	 the	 Commission	 has	 consciously	
        factored-in	 the	 examination	 schedules	 of	 various	 State	 Boards,	
        including	 the	 Central	 Board	 of	 Secondary	 Education,	 in	 the	 process	 of	
        finalizing	the	poll	dates.	In	addition	 to	 this,	 other	relevant	 factors	like	
        various	holidays	and	festivals	falling	in	the	months	of	March,	April	and	
        May,	 harvest	 season	 in	 certain	 parts	 of	 the	 country	 and	 the	 inputs	
        obtained	 from	 the	 Indian	 Meteorological	 Department	 on	 the	 pre-
        monsoon	rainfall,	onset	and	spread	of	monsoon	and	acute	hot	weather	
        conditions	 in	 certain	 parts	 of	 the	 country	 have	 also	 been	 taken	 into	
        consideration.	Thus,	while	deciding	on	the	number	of	poll	days	for	each	
        State/	 UT	 and	 the	 composition	 of	 the	 PCs	 that	 go	 to	 polls	 on	 a	
        particular	 poll	 day,	 the	 Commission	 has,	 to	 the	 extent	 possible,	 taken	
        all	relevant	aspects	and	information,	related	thereto,	into	view.

13.   PHOTO	 ELECTORAL	 ROLLS	 AND	 ELECTOR	 PHOTO	 IDENTITY	
   CARDS	(EPIC):	
The	country	had	gone	to	polls	with	Photo	Electoral	Rolls	for	the	first	time	
in	2009.	In	that	year	the	State	of	Assam,	Jammu	&	Kashmir	and	Nagaland	
did	not	have	Photo	Electoral	Rolls	(PERs),	and	Elector	Photo	Identity	Cards	
(EPICs)	were	not	distributed	to	electors	in	Assam	and	Nagaland.	Now,	all	
the	 States	 and	 UTs	 have	 Photo	 Electoral	 Rolls	 (PERs).	 Photographs	 of	
99.72%	electors	are	already	printed	in	the	electoral	rolls.	99.36%	electors	
have	 been	 given	 EPIC.	 The	 percentage	 of	 electors	 with	 EPIC	 and	
photographs	 in	 electoral	 rolls	 is	 likely	 to	 increase	 further	 before	 the	
elections.	 24	 States	 and	 UTs,	 viz.	 Andhra	 Pradesh,	 	 Bihar,	 Chandigarh,	
Dadra	 &	 Nagar	 Haveli,	 	 Daman	 &	 Diu,	 Goa,	 Haryana,	 Himachal	 Pradesh,	
Jharkhand,	 Kerala,	 Lakshadweep,	 Madhya	 Pradesh,	 Manipur,	 Meghalaya,	
Mizoram,	 NCT	 of	 Delhi,	 Puducherry,	 Punjab,	 Sikkim,	 Tamil	 Nadu,	
Telangana,	 Tripura,	 Uttarakhand	 and	 West	 Bengal	 have	 photographs	 of	
100%	 electors	 in	 the	 electoral	 rolls.	 23	 States	 and	 UTs	 have	 100%	 EPIC	
coverage.	 These	 are	 -	 Andhra	 Pradesh,	 Bihar,	 Chandigarh,	 Dadra	 &	 Nagar	
Haveli,	 	 	 Goa,	 Haryana,	 Himachal	 Pradesh,	 Jharkhand,	 Karnataka,	 Kerala,	
Lakshadweep,	 Madhya	 Pradesh,	 Meghalaya,	 Mizoram,	 NCT	 of	 Delhi,	
Puducherry,	Punjab,	Sikkim,	Tamil	Nadu,	Telangana			Tripura,	Uttarakhand	
and	 West	 Bengal.	 Remaining	 electors	 are	 advised	 to	 submit	 their	
photographs	 to	 obtain	 their	 EPIC	 from	 the	 concerned	 Electoral	
Registration	Officer	(ERO)	urgently.	CEOs	have	been	directed	to	maximize

     photo	and	EPIC	coverage	in	the	electoral	rolls	before	the	elections.		
     Commission	has	received	complaints	that	some	persons	having	EPIC	have	
     in	the	past	been	denied	the	right	to	vote	because	their	name	was	not	found	
     in	the	electoral	rolls.	It	is	clarified	here	that	only	those	persons	are	allowed	
     to	 vote	 at	 a	 Polling	 Station	 who	 are	 enrolled	 in	 the	 electoral	 roll	 for	 that	
     Polling	Station.	EPIC	is	only	an	identity	document	and	does	not	confer	the	
     right	 of	 vote	 on	 any	 person,	 whose	 name	 is	 not	 in	 the	 electoral	 roll.	 It	 is	
     also	clarified	that	the	law	does	not	allow	inclusion	of	names	in	the	electoral	
     roll	 after	 3:00	 PM	 on	 the	 last	 date	 of	 filing	 nominations,	 till	 the	 electoral	
     process	 is	 complete.	 All	 persons	 are,	 therefore,	 advised	 that	 they	 must	
     check	 that	 their	 names	 are	 in	 electoral	 rolls	 and	 apply	 at	 the	 earliest.	
     Facility	 of	 checking	 is	 provided	 on	 the	 website	 of	 Chief	 Electoral	 Officers.	
     “Voter	 Verification	 &	 Information	 Programme	 (VVIP)”	 has	 been	 launched	
     where	facility	to	check	the	names	in	electoral	rolls	through	SMS	on	toll	free	
     number	 “1950”	 has	 been	 provided.	 	 In	 addition,	 the	 Commission	 has	
     organized	 special	 camps	 at	 all	 Polling	 Stations	 for	 enrolment	 of	 left	 out	
     eligible	voters.	In	this	camp,	the	electoral	roll	for	that	Polling	Station	shall	
     be	 pasted	 on	 the	 wall	 of	 the	 Polling	 Station	 and	 shall	 also	 be	 read	 out	 in	
     public,	 so	 that	 people	 can	 check	 that	 their	 name	 is	 in	 the	 electoral	 roll.	 If	
     the	name	of	any	person	eligible	to	be	enrolled	is	left	out	for	some	reason	or	
     has	 been	 wrongly	 deleted,	 such	 a	 person	 should	 immediately	 fill	
     application	for	inclusion	of	name	in	Form	6	and	hand	it	over	to	the	Booth	
     Level	Officer	(BLO),	who	will	be	present	in	the	camp	at	the	Polling	Station.	
     The	BLO	shall	then	deliver	the	form	to	the	ERO,	who	will	include	the	name	
     if	the	applicant	is	found	eligible	to	be	enrolled	as	an	elector.

15.    INTENSIVE	 MONITORING	 OF	 ELECTORAL	 ROLLS	 BY	 THE	
COMMISSION:	
BLOs	 shall	 do	 a	 door	 to	 door	 survey	 and	 prepare	 a	 list	 of	 voters	 found	
absent	 from	 the	 place	 of	 their	 ordinary	 residence.	 Similarly,	 names	 of	
shifted	and	dead	voters	shall	also	be	added	to	this	list	by	BLOs.	This	list	of	
Absent,	 Shifted	 or	 Dead	 (ASD)	 voters	 shall	 be	 given	 to	 the	 Presiding	
Officers	 on	 the	 poll	 day.	 Commission	 has	 issued	 instructions	 that	 voting	
will	 be	 allowed	 only	 after	 proper	 identification	 of	 voters.	 Identification	
shall	be	done	on	the	basis	of	EPIC	or	other	alternative	identity	documents	
permitted	 by	 the	 Commission.	 Presiding	 Officers	 are	 required	 to	 double	
check	the	identity	of	voters	whose	names	are	on	the	ASD	list.		
	
PHOTO	 VOTER	 SLIP	 shall	 be	 used	 for	 guidance	 but	 not	 as	 identity	 proof	 in	 polling	
station.	Electors	will	be	required	to	carry	EPIC	or	any	of	the	eleven	Identity	Documents	
as	notified	by	the	Commission.

     country,	 as	 compared	 to	 approximately	 9,28,000	 Polling	 Stations	 set	 up	
     during	Lok	Sabha	election,	2014.	This	marks	an	increase	of	nearly	10.1%	
     Polling	 Stations.	 This	 increase	 is	 largely	 due	 to	 rationalization	 of	 Polling	
     Stations,	which	the	Commission	undertook	in	the	recent	years.		
     The	 Commission	 has	 decided	 to	 use	 Voter	 Verifiable	 Paper	 Audit	 Trail	
     (VVPAT)	 alongwith	 Electronic	 Voting	 Machine	 (EVM)	 at	 every	 polling	
     station	of	all	the	States	and	Union	Territories	to	enhance	the	transparency	
     and	credibility	of	the	election	process	as	VVPAT	allows	the	voter	to	verify	
     his/her	 vote.	 The	 Commission	 has	 already	 made	 arrangements	 to	 ensure	
     availability	 of	 adequate	 number	 of	 EVMs	 and	 VVPATs	 for	 the	 smooth	
     conduct	 of	 elections.	 The	 requirement	 and	 availability	 of	 EVMs	 and	
     VVPATs	for	the	Lok	Sabha	and	for	the	State	Assembly	Elections	due	to	be	
     held	together	in2019	are	as	follows:	
     25.
      	    First	level	Checking	(FLC):	
                             	          The	
                                         	 First	 Level	
                                                     	 Check	 of	 EVMs	 and

VVPATs	has	been	completed	in	the	presence	of	representatives	of	political	
parties.	A	two-stage	randomization	of	EVMs	and	VVPATs	will	also	be	done.	
For	 this	 purpose,	 a	 Standard	 Operating	 Procedure	 for	 randomization	 of	
EVMs	 and	 VVPATs	 has	 been	 issued.	 	 In	 the	 first	 stage,	 all	 the	 EVMs	 and	
VVPATs	stored	in	the	district	warehouse	will	be	randomized	by	the	District	
Election	 Officer	 (DEO)	 through	 EVM	 Management	 System	 (EMS)	 in	 the	
presence	 of	 the	 representatives	 of	 the	 recognized	 political	 parties	 for	
Assembly	Constituency/Segment-wise	allocation.	Second	randomization	of	
EVMs	 and	 VVPATs	 will	 be	 done	 at	 RO	 level	 before	 candidate	 setting	 of	
EVMs	 and	 VVPATs	 for	 polling	 station-wise	 allocation.	 This	 is	 done	 in	 the	
presence	 of	 General	 Observer	 of	 Election	 Commission	 of	 India	 and	
contesting	 candidates/their	 agents.	 This	 process	 will	 be	 carried	 out	 after	
finalization	 of	 the	 contesting	 candidates.	 At	 this	 stage	 also,	 candidates	 or	
their	 agents/representatives	 will	 be	 allowed	 to	 check	 and	 satisfy	
themselves	in	every	manner	about	the	error-free	functionality	of	the	EVMs	
and	VVPATs.		
26.   Mock	 Poll:	 Before	 actual	 use	 of	 EVMs	 and	 VVPATs	 at	 polling	
stations,	 mock	 polls	 are	 conducted	 on	 the	 machines	 three	 times.	 First,	
during	 the	 First	 Level	 Checking	 (FLC),	 each	 and	 every	 VVPAT	 is	 also	
subjected	 to	 a	 mock	 poll	 with	 96	 votes	 and	 the	 paper	 slip	 count	 is	 cross	
verified	with	the	electronic	count	in	the	EVM.	Furthermore,	a	mock	poll	in	
5%	randomly	selected	EVMs	is	done	as	follows	i.e.	1%	of	EVMs	with	1200	
votes,	in	2%	of	EVMs	with	1000	votes	and	in	2%	of	EVMs	with	500	votes	
is	done	using	VVPATs.	After	the	mock-poll,	the	printed	ballot	slips	of	each	
VVPAT	 printer	 are	 counted	 and	 the	 result	 is	 tallied	 with	 the	 electronic	
result	of	Control	Unit.	The	tally	is	shown	to	the	representative	of	political	
parties	present	at	the	FLC	to	ensure	absolute	transparency.	As	part	of	the	
preparations	 for	 the	 forthcoming	 Lok	 Sabha	 elections,	 mock	 poll	 has

     pick	 machines	 randomly	 for	 this	 purpose	 and	 also	 to	 participate	 in	 the	
     process.	Finally,	on	poll	day	before	start	of	the	actual	poll,	a	mock	poll	is	
     conducted	 by	 casting	 at	 least	 50	 votes	 at	 every	 polling	 station	 by	 the

     electronic	 result	 of	 the	 Control	 Unit	 and	 the	 result	 of	 VVPAT	 slips	 are	
     tallied	and	shown	to	them.A	Certificate	of	successful	conduct	of	the	Mock	
     Poll	shall	be	made	by	the	Presiding	Officer.	Immediately	after	the	conduct

       district/constituency	 level	 for	 the	 smooth	 conduct	 of	 elections	 and	 to	
       enable	 concurrent	 intervention	 and	 mid-course	 correction	 on	 the	 poll	
       day.	 	 For	 the	 said	 purpose,	 the	 Commission	 has	 directed	 the	 Chief	
       Electoral	 Officers	 to	 coordinate	 with	 the	 officers	 of	 Telecommunication	
       Department	 in	 the	 State	 headquarters,	 BSNL/MTNL	 authorities,	 the	
       representatives	 of	 other	 leading	 service	 providers	 in	 the	 State	 so	 that	
       network	 status	 in	 the	 States	 is	 assessed	 and	 communication	 shadow	
       areas	 be	 identified.	 	 The	 CEOs	 have	 also	 been	 instructed	 to	 prepare	 the	
       best	 communication	 plan	 in	 the	 States	 and	 make	 suitable	 alternate	
       arrangements	in	the	communication	shadow	areas	by	providing	Satellite

40.       MEASURES	TO	PREVENT	PUBLIC	NUISANCE:	
	
      (a)       Usage	 	 of	 	 eco-friendly	 	 substances	 	 for	 	 preparing		
         election		campaign/publicity	material-Considering	the	long-term	
         deleterious	 impact	 of	 materials	 like	 plastics,	 polythene	 etc.	 on	 the	
         life-giving	 and	 life-sustaining	 environment,	 the	 Commission,	 had	
         directed	 that	 all	 political	 parties,	 contesting	 candidates	 and	 their	
         authorized	 agents	 etc,	 shall	 desist	 from	 utilizing	
         environmentally	hazardous	materials	like	plastics,	polythene	etc	
         for	 the	 preparation	 and	 usage	 election-related	 publicity	 materials	
         during	 these	 	 Elections.	 The	 DEOs	 and	 ROs	 are	 directed	 to	
         emphasize	 the	 importance	 of	 environment	 protection	 and	
         preservation	 during	 the	 meetings	 with	 the	 political	 parties	 and	
         contesting	 candidates	 and	 ensure	 that	 the	 instructions	 of	 the	
         Commission	 with	 regard	 to	 the	 restrictions	 on	 the	 usage	 of	 non-
         eco-friendly	 materials	 like	 plastics,	 polythene	 etc.	 during	
         electioneering	shall	be	adhered	to	by	all	concerned.	The	CEOs	shall	
         impress	 upon	 the	 importance	 of	 using	 eco-friendly	 and	 bio-
         degradable	 materials	 for	 campaign	 material	 to	 various	 political	
         parties	 and	 candidates	 in	 the	 States/UTs	 and	 issue	 necessary	
         instructions	in	this	regard.	
         	
      (b)       Restrictions	on	the	use	of	Loudspeakers-	The		 Commission		
         is		 genuinely		 concerned		about		 the		serious		‘noise		pollution’		 and	
         disturbance	to	the	peace	and	tranquility	of	the	general	public	by	the	
         reckless,	 widespread	 and	 flagrant	 use	 of	 loudspeakers	 during	
         election	 canvassing	 and	 campaign	 by	 candidates,	 political	 parties	
         and	their	agents.	In	particular,	the	student	community,	gets	seriously	
         disturbed	 and	 adversely	 impacted	 as	 their	 studies	 are	 badly	
         hampered	 because	 the	 loudspeakers	 start	 blaring	 from	 very	 early	
         hours	in	 the	 morning	and	continue	to	do	so	throughout	the	day	and	
         till	extremely	late	hours	in	the	night.	Similarly,	 the	 aged,	 the	 infirm	
         and	 the	 sick	 whether	 in	 institutions,	 hospitals,	 etc.	 or	 at	 home,	 are	
         also	 affected.	 The	 Commission	 has	 directed	 that	 the	 use	 of	 public	
         address	 system	 or	 loudspeakers	 or	 any	 sound	 amplifier,	 whether	
                                                                                             31

           of	the	poll	in	any	polling	area.	
           	       Moreover,	 for	 maintenance	 for	 law	 and	 order	 and	
           prevention	 of	 loudspeaker	 use	for	 inciting	 tension	 in	 a	 politically	
           surcharged	 atmosphere,	 District	 Administrations	 is	 advised	 to	
           consider	 any	 application	 for	 permission	 to	 use	 loudspeakers	
           beyond	 the	 aforesaid	 prohibitory	 period	 of	 48	 hours,	 on	 merit	 of	
           each	 application	 and	 keeping	 in	 view	 the	 need	 to	 maintain	 proper	
           law	and	order	till	the	completion	of	election.	
           	       Also,	 the	 Commission	 solicits	 the	 cooperation	 and	
           collaboration	 of	 all	 the	 esteemed	stakeholders,	notably	the	political	
           parties	 and	 contesting	 candidates,	 to	 refrain	 from	 using	
           loudspeakers	 and	 sound	 amplification	 in	 the	 vicinity	 of	
           educational	institutions	like	schools	and	colleges,	hospitals,	senior	
           citizens’	homes,	sanatoriums	and	other	facilities	tending	to	the	sick,	
           infirm	or	the	needy.

General	 Elections	 to	 Lok	 Sabha	 in	 India	 is	 considered	 to	 be	 the	 biggest,	
man	 management	 exercise	 in	 the	 world.	 It	 involves	 a	 mammoth	 task	 to	
mobilize	 an	 election	 machinery	 of	 more	 than	 11	 million	 officials	 for	 this	
exercise.	 These	 officials	 are	 government	 employees	 of	 Central/	 State	
governments	 working	 on	 deputation	 to	 Election	 Commission	 of	 India	 for	
conducting	the	elections.	Training	of	these	officials	thus	becomes	essential	
for	flawless	conduct	of	elections.

40
    	
           For	 greater	 transparency	 and	 for	 ease	 of	 monitoring	 of	 election	
    expenses,	candidates	would	be	 required	to	 open	a	 separate	 bank	 account	
    and	 incur	 their	 election	 expenses	 from	 that	 very	 account.	 The	
    Investigation	 Directorate	 of	 Income	 Tax	 Dept.	 has	 been	 asked	 to	 activate	
    Air	 Intelligence	 units	 in	 the	 airports	 of	 the	 State	 and	 also	 to	 gather	
    intelligence	 and	 take	 necessary	action	 against	 movement	 of	 large	 sum	 of	
    money	in	the	State.

    movement	of	illegal	arms,	ammunition,	liquor,	or	antisocial	elements	etc.	in	
    the	constituencies	during	election	process.	
	
	   	     In	order	to	avoid	inconvenience	to	the	public	and	genuine	persons	and	
    also	 for	 redressal	 of	 their	 grievances,	 if	 any,	 the	 Commission	 has	 issued	
    instruction	no.	76/Instructions/EEPS/2015/Vol-II	dated	29.05.2015	stating

    namely,	 (i)	 CEO,	 Zila	 Parishiad/CDO/P.D,	 DRDA	 (ii)	 Nodal	 Officer	 of	
    Expenditure	 Monitoring	 in	 the	 District	 Election	 Office	 (Convenor)	 and	 (iii)	
    District	Treasury	Officer.	The	Committee	shall	suo-motu	examine	each	case	
    of	seizure	made	by	the	Police	or	SST	or	FS	and	where	the	Committee	finds	
    that	 no	 FIR/Complaint	 has	 been	 filed	 against	 the	 Seizure	 or	 where	 the	
    seizure	 is	 not	 linked	 with	 any	 candidate	 or	 political	 party	 or	 any	 election	
    campaign	etc.,	as	per	Standard	Operating	Procedure,	it	shall	take	immediate	
    steps	to	order	release	of	such	cash	etc.	to	such	persons	from	whom	the	cash

    look	 into	 all	 cases	 and	 take	 decision	 on	 seizure.	 In	 no	 case,	 the	 matter	
    relating	to	seized	cash/seized	valuables	shall	be	kept	pending	in	malkhana	or	
    treasury	 for	 more	 that	 7(seven)	 days	 after	 the	 date	 of	 poll,	 unless	 any

         on	 the	 basis	 of	 permissions	 granted:	 It	 has	 come	 to	 the	 notice	 of	 the	
         Commission	 that	 the	 candidates	 take	 permission	 from	 the	 Returning	
         Officer	for	use	of	vehicles	for	campaign	purpose,	but	 some	 candidates	 do	
         not	 show	 the	 vehicle	 hiring	 charges	 or	 fuel	 expenses	 in	 their	 election	
         expenditure	 account.	 Therefore,	 it	 has	 been	 decided	 that	 unless	 the	
         candidate	intimates	the	R.O.	for	withdrawing	the	permission,	the	notional	
         expenditure	 on	account	 of	 campaign	 vehicles	will	 be	 calculated	 based	 on	
         the	 number	 of	 vehicles	for	which	permission	is	granted	by	the	Returning	
         Officer.	
     	
     	
         (c)	 Account	 Reconciliation	 Meeting:	 In	 order	 to	 reduce	 litigation	
         relating	 to	 expenditure	 accounts,	 	 account	 Reconciliation	 Meeting	 will	 be	
         convened	by	the	DEOs	before	final	submission	of	the	accounts,	on	the	26th	
         day	after	the	date	of	declaration	of	the	results.

         party	 leaders	on	their	travel,	boarding,	lodging	etc.	who	travel	to	overseas	
         countries	 for	 the	 purpose	 of	 canvassing	 in	 their	 favour	 to	 seek	 votes	 of	
         overseas	electors	 residing	there,	 would	 be	deemed	to	be	the	expenditure	
         incurred	or	authorized	by	the	candidates	in	connection	with	their	election	
         and	 will	 have	 to	 be	 included	 in	 their	 account	 of	 election	 expenses.
