Apply Online To Get Permission For Poll-related Activities: District Election Officer

District election officer-cum-Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain on Wednesday directed all political parties to apply for getting permission for all the poll-related activities, including meetings and rallies for the Ludhiana West by-elections, through the “Suvidha” online portal.

The portal is a one-stop solution to get permission for all poll-related activities, including meetings, rallies, use of vehicles, loudspeakers, and others.

Jain said that “Suvidha” portal was a single-window clearance for getting permissions from the election authorities. He emphasised that political parties must avoid any campaign that incites mutual hatred. Additionally, no religious place should be used for campaigning. The venue and time of political rallies and processions must be informed well in advance to avoid any mismanagement.

The district election officer assured that the administration is committed to ensuring free, fair, and peaceful by-poll and urged all political parties to extend their support and cooperation to the administration during the elections.
