Candidates or Political Parties must obtain vehicle permits for Election Campaigns : EC
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, September 2 -
CEO Haryana, Pankaj Agarwal said that with the commencement of the nomination process for the 2024 Assembly elections, candidates and political parties must adhere to the guidelines issued by the EC of India during roadshows and election rallies to avoid causing inconvenience to the public.
The CEO said that any candidate or political party must obtain permission for the use of vehicles in the election campaign; vehicles cannot be used for campaigning without this permit. He further shared that it is also necessary for candidates or political parties to submit the details of the vehicles registered for campaigning to the Expenditure Observer so that these expenses can be included in their election expenditure.
Besides this, any deployment of extra vehicles can only occur if prior notification is given by the candidate or their agent well before the actual deployment of vehicles. When providing the details of vehicles used for election campaigns, it is important to specify the areas and tehsils where these vehicles will be operating, said Pankaj Agarwal. He shared that the use of vehicles for campaigning must comply with traffic regulations.
