Electoral Commission wants parties to directly communicate with the Chairman

With 26th May, 2022 the first possible date the writ of elections can be issued, the Electoral Commission has today informed political parties that all communications with them must be communicated via email or letter addressed directly to the Chairperson of the Commission and through the official email provided.

Chairperson, Mukesh Nand says the Commission has done this in order to ensure that all communications going into the 2022 General Election are consistently dealt with, recorded and available in case of future reference.

He says it is also important to note the Commission does not wish to engage indirect communication with political parties and candidates through the media, social media or any other platform that may be available to a person.
