Election Commission panel to identify flaws during Assembly polls
New Delhi, May 13
The Election Commission has decided to set up a panel to identify shortcomings during the recently held five Assembly polls. Elections were held in West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry. The ‘core committee’ has been tasked to identify shortcomings in the Election Commission’s regulatory regime, and the gaps in implementation and enforcement at the level of state chief electoral officers and district officials. The committee will also look into the need to strengthen the legal and regulatory framework to allow the commission to ensure more effective compliance of guidelines, including Covid-19 norms. — PTI
