Notice to SEC on poll date change
15.03.2019
Hearing a plea, the Madurai bench of the Madras high court directed the Tamil Nadu State Election Commission (SEC) to file a counter on how it would manage to conduct elections in Madurai Lok Sabha constituency during Chithirai Festival. The judges said they were not convinced with the SEC’s stand that there was no possibility to change the date. On a separate plea, the court prohibited parties from using banners, flex boards and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cut-outs as they pose health risks.
No animals in poll campaigns
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has advised political parties not to use animals while campaigning. In its ‘Manual on Model Code of Conduct’ (MCC), it says: “Election Commission has advised political parties and candidates to refrain from using any animal for campaign. Even a party with reserved symbol depicting an animal, should not make live demonstration of that animal”. The MCC also states “display of animals in road shows is totally banned”.
Action sought against official for puja in office
