ELECTIONS TO LOK SABHA AND LEGISLATIVE
ASSEMBLIES IN ANDHRA PRADESH, ARUNACHAL
PRADESH, ODISHA & SIKKIM, 2019.
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

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.

and the Union Territories. The process of continuous updation of
electoral rolls will continue till the last date of filing nominations.
c. The total electorate in the country as per finally published E-rolls in
reference to 01.01.2019 is approximately 900 million compared to
814.5 million in 2014. This marks an increase of more than 84
million electors. Over 15 million electors are in 18-19 years age
group. Electors in the age group of 18 to 19 years constitute 1.66%
of total electors. Commission allowed enrollment of transgender
persons with gender written as "Others" in the electoral rolls since
2012. The number of electors enrolled as "Others" gender is 38,325.

16
Parliament amended the Representation of the People Act, 1950,
allowing enrollment of Indian citizens living overseas as electors.
71,735 overseas electors have been enrolled in the current electoral
rolls. There are 16,77,386 service electors in the electoral rolls.
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
7
17
NATIONAL ELECTION PLANNER
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.
8
18
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.
To facilitate the voters to know where he/she is enrolled as a voter at a
9
19
NATIONAL ELECTION PLANNER
particular polling station and what is his/her serial number in the
Electoral roll, the Commission has directed that official voter slip bearing
the Photo of the elector (wherever present in the roll) will be
distributed at least 5 days before the date of poll to all enrolled voters
by the District Election Officer and a very close and rigorous monitoring of
the distribution process shall be done by the DEO and General Observer
concerned. The size, design and format of the Photo Voter Slip has also
been substantially improved to enhance its utility and effectiveness in
voter identification, awareness and guidance by increasing the size of the
image, providing additional information along with polling station Nazri
Naksha on the reverse of the slip and improvement in the quality of
printing. It has also been directed that the said voter slip should be in the
languages in which electoral roll is published for that Assembly
Constituency. The Commission has laid a special emphasis on the
systematic, efficient and timely distribution of the Photo Voter Slips
through the Booth Level Officers (BLOs), who are under strict instructions
to hand over the voter slip to the elector concerned only and not to any
other person. The BLOs shall also maintain a pre-printed Register of Voters
and take the signatures/thumb impression of person to whom the Photo
Voter Slip is delivered.
18. The residual undistributed Voter Slips shall be returned by the BLO
to the concerned ERO, who shall keep the same in a sealed cover after
making an alphabetical list of the undistributed PVS in respect of each
Part/polling station. Two copies of such alphabetical lists shall be handed
over to the RO of the concerned constituency, while sealed cover of
undistributed photo voter slips shall remain in safe custody with the ERO.
No further distribution of photo voter slips shall be done after the
20
10
same are returned to the ERO.
19. The Returning Officer (RO) of the Constituency shall prepare a
schedule for distribution of Photo Voter Slips by the BLOs. A copy of
this schedule shall be given by the RO to the Political Parties, Booth Level
Agents (BLAs) of all recognized political parties well in advance, if they
have been appointed and contesting Candidates and their Agents, under
acknowledgement.
20. BRAILLE PHOTO VOTER SLIPS:
To ensure wholesome and constructive participation and active
engagement of Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in the election process, the
Commission has directed to issue Accessible Photo Voter Slips with Braille
Features to Persons with Visual Impairment or Blind, over and above
normal Photo Voter Slips to be issued.
21. VOTER GUIDE:
In this election, a Voter Guide (in Vernacular / English) shall be
handed over to every household ahead of the elections, giving
information about the date and time of polls, contact details of the BLOs,
important websites, helpline numbers, documents required for
identification at the polling station besides other important information
including the Do’s and Don’ts for voters at the polling station. This Voter
Guide Brochure will be distributed along with the Photo Voter Slips by the
BLOs.
22. POLLING STATIONS:
Presently there are approximately 10,35,918 Polling Stations in the
11
21
NATIONAL ELECTION PLANNER
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
12
22
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
13
23
NATIONAL ELECTION PLANNER
already been conducted in EVMs and VVPATs during the First Level
Checking in the presence of the representative of Political Parties.During
commissioning of EVMs and VVPATs, mock poll is again done on each
EVM and VVPAT. In addition, mock poll of 1000 votes are cast in 5%
randomly selected EVMs, as well as VVPATs and the electronic result is
tallied with paper count. Candidates/their representatives are allowed to
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
Presiding Officer, in the presence of representatives of candidates and 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
of Mock Poll, the CLEAR Button is pressed on the EVM to clear the data of
the Mock Poll and the fact that no votes are recorded in the Control Unit is
displayed to the Polling Agents present. The Presiding Officer also ensures
that all mock poll slips shall be taken out and kept in separate marked
envelope before the start of Poll.
27. Mandatory Verification of VVPAT Paper Slip: The Commission has
also mandated that VVPAT slip count of One (1) randomly selected Polling
Station in each Assembly Constituency in case of Assembly elections and
One (1) randomly selected polling station of each Assembly Segment of
Parliamentary Constituency, by the Returning Officer, by Draw of Lot in
presence of all candidates, shall be done for verification of the result
obtained from the Control Unit. This mandatory verification of VVPAT slip
count of one (1) polling station in each Assembly Constituency/each
Assembly Segment of Parliamentary Constituency shall be in addition to
the provisions of Rule 56(D) of the Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961.
14
24
28. Training and Awareness on use of EVMs and VVPATs: The
Commission directed all the Chief Electoral Officers of States and Union
Territories to ensure proper training of all the polling personnel
regarding the use of EVMs and VVPATs, as well as to create widespread
awareness amongst the citizens, political parties, contesting candidates,
their polling agents and other stakeholders about the use of EVMs and
VVPATs.The Commission has also directed that sufficient number of
Mobile Vans for each Assembly Constituency should be deployed for
demonstration and awareness on use of VVPATs (practice of vote casting
by electors) so that each village/hamlet gets covered with 3-4 hours
demo twice before the elections. There should be atleast one visit to each
polling station location by mobile van (for demonstration and practice of
vote casting) before announcement of elections and repeat coverage after
announcement of election, if not done earlier.
29. GPS tracking of movement of EVMs and VVPATs: The Commission
has instructed the Chief Electoral Officers of all States and UTs that end-to-
end movement of all Reserve EVMs and VVPATs shall be carefully
monitored at all times, for which all Sector Officers' vehicles with Reserve
EVMs and VVPATs shall mandatorily be fitted with GPS tracking system.
30. NONE OF THE ABOVE (NOTA) OPTION IN EVMs:
As usual, there will be ‘None of the Above’ option for the elections. On the
BUs, below the name of the last candidate, there will be a button for
NOTA option so that electors who do not want to vote for any of the
candidates can exercise their option by pressing the button against NOTA.
Similarly, on Posted Ballot Papers also there will be a NOTA Panel after the
name of the last candidate. The symbol for NOTA as given below will be
printed against the NOTA Panel.
15
25
NATIONAL ELECTION PLANNER
31. PHOTOGRAPHS OF CANDIDATES ON EVM BALLOT PAPER:
In order to facilitate the electors in identifying the candidates, the
Commission has prescribed an additional measure by way of adding
provision for printing the photograph of candidate also on the ballot paper
to be displayed on the EVM (Ballot Unit) and on Postal Ballot Papers. This
will help avoid any confusion, which may arise when candidates with
same or similar names contest from the same constituency. For this
purpose, the candidates are required to submit to the Returning Officer,
their recent Stamp Size photograph as per the specifications laid down by
the Commission.
32. MODEL CODE OF CONDUCT:
Consequent on the announcement of the Schedule for the General Election
through this Press Note, the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) for the
Guidance of Political Parties and Candidates comes into operation with
immediate effect from today itself in the entire country. This will be
applicable to all Political Parties and the Union and State Governments and
UT Administrations. In pursuance of the judgment of Supreme Court dated
5th July 2013, in SLP (C) no 21455 of 2008 (S.Subramaniam Balaji vs Govt

Election Manifesto in consultation with recognized Political Parties. These
Guidelines have been incorporated as part VIII of “Model Code of Conduct
of Guidance of Political Parties & Candidates” and shall be applicable &
implemented in Lok Sabha Elections - 2019 as part of MCC. The
Commission calls upon all the Political Parties, Candidates and the Union
and State Governments and UT Administrations to strictly adhere to the
MCC. The Commission has made elaborate arrangements for ensuring the
effective implementation of the MCC Guidelines. Any violations of these
Guidelines would be strictly dealt with and the Commission re-emphasizes
that the instructions issued in this regard from time to time should be read
and understood by all Political Parties, contesting candidates and their
16
26
agents/ representatives, to avoid any misgivings or lack of information or
understanding/ interpretation. The government of the poll-bound States
has also been directed to ensure that no misuse of official
machinery/position is done during the MCC period.
The Commission has also issued instructions for swift, effective and
stringent action for enforcement of Model Code of Conduct during the first
72 hours of announcement of election schedule and also for maintaining
extra vigilance and strict enforcement action in the last 72 hours prior to
the close of polls. These Instructions have been issued in the form of
Standard Operating.

shall produce their original Passport for identification at the polling
station.
36. DEPLOYMENT OF POLLING PERSONNEL AND RANDOMIZATION:
Polling parties shall be formed randomly, through the special
randomization IT application. Three-stage randomization will be
adopted. First, from a wider district database of eligible officials, a shortlist
of a minimum 120% of the required numbers will be randomly picked up.
This group will be trained for polling duties. In the second stage, from this
trained manpower, actual polling parties as required shall be formed by
random selection software in the presence of General Observers. In the
19
29
NATIONAL ELECTION PLANNER
third randomization, the polling stations will be allocated randomly to
these polling parties just before the polling party’s departure. There shall
be such randomization for Police personnel and Home Guards also, who
are deployed at the polling stations on the poll day.
37. DISTRICT ELECTION MANAGEMENT PLAN (DEMP):
The District Election Officers have been asked to prepare a
comprehensive District Election Management Plan in consultation with
SSPs/SPs and Sector Officers, including the route plan and
communication plan for conduct of elections. These plans will be vetted
by the Observers taking into account vulnerability mapping exercise and
mapping of critical polling stations, in accordance with Election
Commission of India’s extant instructions.
38. BOOTH LEVEL MANAGEMENT PLAN:
An innovative “bottom up” approach of booth level planning and
management has been implemented where in Booth Level plans for
Polling Stations have been prepared containing all information and
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for smooth conduct of elections at
each Polling Station. These booth level Plans will be used to prepare
PC/AC level, District level and State level Election Management Plans.
39. COMMUNICATION PLAN:
The Commission attaches great importance to preparation and
implementation of a perfect communication plan at the
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
20
30
Phones, Wireless sets, Special Runners etc.
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
21
NATIONAL ELECTION PLANNER
fitted on vehicles of any kind whatsoever, or in static position used
for public meetings for electioneering purposes, during the entire
election period starting from the date of announcement of election
and ending with the date of declaration of results, shall not be
permitted at night between 10.00 p.m. and 6.00 a.m.
Further, No loudspeakers fitted on vehicles of any kind or in
any other manner whatsoever shall be permitted to be used during
the period of 48 hours ending with the hour fixed for the conclusion
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.
41. VIDEOGRAPHY/ WEBCASTING/CCTV COVERAGE:
The Commission works on the premise of ‘No Voter to be Left Behind’ in its
endeavor to realize universal adult suffrage. Voter education connects
people to the elections. In this pursuit, several initiatives under ‘Systematic
Voter Education and Electoral Participation’ (SVEEP), the flagship voter
education programme of the Commission have been launched effectively
well in advance to connect with voters of all categories in the States and
UT’s down to the polling station level. As per extant directions of the
Commission, State SVEEP Plans have been developed, approved and the
implementation is being closely monitored.
In view of the fact that VVPAT shall be used with every EVM at each Polling
25
35
NATIONAL ELECTION PLANNER
Station, special campaign, including hands on experience, has been
undertaken right from September, 2018 for enhancing awareness, elector
convenience and confidence in respect of these machines. EVM and VVPAT
awareness campaign is further being carried out through different media
besides EVM and VVPAT equipped Mobile Vans to cover people at block
level, traditional haats, bazaars and ‘Gram Sabha’ etc in rural areas.
Voter Facilitation Centers have been activated in all the States and Union
Territories to facilitate voters.
Voter Helpline -1950 has been activated across the country to cater to the
voters queries and in addition, ‘Voter Helpline App’ has also been
launched. SMS facility has been made available on 1950 to enable electors
verify their names on the Electoral Roll (Voter List).
Special measures have been rolled out to facilitate persons with disabilities
both for the purpose of enrollment; as well as participation on poll day.
These measures include accessible awareness material, Braille enabled
EPICs for blind electors, sensitization of polling personnel and PwD
friendly infrastructure at polling stations. Polling Station wise mapping of
the electors with disabilities has been undertaken to extend requisite
facilitation to them. PwD electors will be provided transport facility to
their respective polling station on poll day to help them exercise their
franchise.
Services of Electoral Literacy Clubs, “Chunav Pathshala’ are being used for
26
36
connecting with youth for enhancing awareness, disseminate information,
motivation and facilitation among youth for both, enrollment and use of
EVM and VVPAT and as such for the entire electoral process.
‘Lowest turnout’ Polling Stations have been identified, reasons for the low
turnout analyzed and targeted interventions based on the findings for
enhanced IMF (Information, Motivation and Facilitation) are being rolled
out to meet the objective of ‘No Voter to be Left Behind’.
B. Expenditure Observers
The Commission has also decided to appoint adequate number of
Expenditure Observers and Assistant Expenditure Observers who will
exclusively monitor the election expenditure of the contesting candidates.
Control room and Complaint Monitoring Centre with 24 hours toll
free numbers shall be operative during the entire election process. Banks
27
37
NATIONAL ELECTION PLANNER
and Financial Intelligence Units of Government of India have been asked to
forward suspicious cash withdrawal reports to the election officials.
Comprehensive instructions for the purpose of effective monitoring of
the election expenditure of the candidates have been separately issued by
the Commission and are available on the ECI website (https://eci.gov.in/).
The names and telephone numbers of all Observers will be
publicized in local newspapers so that the general public can quickly
approach them for any grievance redressal. The Observers will be given a
detailed briefing by the Commission before their deployment.
C. Police Observers
The Commission has decided to deploy IPS officers as Police
Observers at State and District levels, depending upon the sensitivity of
the Constituency, wherever required. They will monitor all activities
relating to force deployment, law and order situation and co-ordinate
between the Civil and Police administration to ensure free and fair
election.
D. Micro Observers
As per the extant instructions, the General Observers will also deploy
Micro-Observers, from amongst Central Government/PSUs Officials, to
observe the poll proceedings on the poll day in critical/vulnerable polling
stations. Micro-Observers will observe the proceedings at the polling
stations on the poll day, right from the conduct of mock poll, to the
completion of poll and the process of sealing of EVMs and VVPATs and
other documents so as to ensure that all instructions of the Commission
are complied with by the Polling Parties and the Polling Agents. They will
report to the General Observers directly regarding any vitiation of the poll
proceedings in their allotted polling stations.
46. TRAINING OF ELECTION OFFICIALS:
28
38
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.
IIIDEM has also organized the following programs to train the important
functionaries and trainers.
29
39
NATIONAL ELECTION PLANNER
Chief Electoral Officers are organizing State and District Level trainings of
all election officials with the help of master trainers (SLMTs and ALTs).
47. CONDUCT OF OFFICIALS:
The Commission expects all officials engaged in the conduct of
elections to discharge their duties in an impartial manner without any
fear or favour. They are deemed to be on deputation to the Commission
and shall be subject to its control, supervision and discipline. The
conduct of all Government officials who have been entrusted with
election related responsibilities and duties would remain under constant
scrutiny of the Commission and strict action shall be taken against those
officials who are found wanting on any account.
48. POLL DAY MONITORING SYSTEM:
A constant and stringent 24-hour monitoring of the critical events and
activities of the poll day will be done using the Poll Day Monitoring
System. All the crucial events like reaching of Polling Parties, queue
management etc will be captured and monitored using this state-of-the-
art IT application, which has the added advantage of being used offline
also, so as to circumvent non- connectivity of network. All data captured
offline is synchronized with the centralized server as soon as the person
using the App comes in the coverage area. Through this App, we can find
out Voter Turnout (VTR) gender-wise, age-wise and section-wise.
49. ELECTION EXPENDITURE MONITORING:
Comprehensive instructions for the purpose of effective monitoring of the
election expenditure of the candidates have been issued, which include
formation of Flying Squads (FS), Static Surveillance Teams (SST), Video
Surveillance Teams (VST), involvement of Investigation Directorate of
Income Tax Deptt. etc. State Excise Department, Commercial Tax
Department, Narcotics Control Bureau and police authorities have been
asked to monitor production, distribution, sale and storage of liquor and
other intoxicants (including narcotics) and inducements in the form of free
goods during the election process. The functioning and operations of the
Flying Squads/Mobile Teams shall be closely monitored using GPS
Tracking & the use of cVigil App.
30
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.
Some new initiatives taken by the Commission to strengthen the
Expenditure Monitoring mechanism are:
(a) Standard Operating Procedure for Seizure and release of cash:
For the purpose of maintaining purity of elections, the Election Commission
of India has issued a Standard Operating Procedure for Flying Squads and
Static Surveillance Teams, constituted for keeping vigil over excessive
campaign expenses, distribution of items of bribe in cash or in kind,
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

NATIONAL ELECTION PLANNER
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.
(d) All expenditure incurred by those candidates, their party agents or
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.
Moreover, any inducement to overseas electors by way of air tickets or
any other allurements to them, in cash or kind, to come to India for the
purpose of voting at the election would amount to the electoral offence of
‘bribery’ within the meaning of section 171B of the IPC as also the corrupt
practice of ‘Bribery’ within the meaning of section 123(1) of the R.P. Act,
1951.
(e) Expenditure incurred on candidates’ Booth/(Kiosk) and on
TV/Cable Channel / Newspaper owned by party for promoting the
electoral prospects of the candidate in the account of the candidate:
The Commission, on further examination of the relevant provisions of
section 77(1) of the R. P. Act, 1951, had decided that the candidates’
booths set up outside the polling stations should hereinafter be deemed to
have been set up by the candidates as part of their individual campaign
and not by way of general party propaganda and as such all expenditure
incurred on such candidates’ booths shall be deemed to have been
incurred/authorized by the candidate/his election agent so as to be
32
42
included in his account of election expenses.
Further, the Commission, after taking into consideration various
references/complaints from various sources in the above matter, has
directed that if the candidate(s) or their sponsoring parties utilize
TV/Cable Channels/Newspapers owned by them for promoting the
electoral prospects of the candidate, the expenses for the same, as per
standard rate cards of the channel/newspaper, have to be included by the
candidate concerned in his Election Expenditure Statement, even if they
actually do not pay any amount to the channel/newspaper.
In pursuance of the Commission’s aforesaid decisions, Schedule 6 and
Schedule 4 in Abstract Statement of Election Expenses have been amended
and incorporated accordingly in the Compendium of Instructions on
Election Expenditure Monitoring(February, 2019).
