Interesting Photos / Video Clippings by 2nd June 2009

To send interesting photos/ video-clippings of good quality to the Commission, I require CDs containing "captivating visuals" by 2nd June (Tuesday) 2009.

The visuals should have proper captions, locational details and datelines.

[Reg the photo above: "EVM Awareness on Horse-cart: 29 April 2009: BDO Galsi 2, Burdwan"]

(Please also refer to our memo nos. 4536-Home(Elec) dated 18.5.2009, 4605-Home(Elec) dated 25.5.2009 and my earlier blog posted in this site on 5.4.2009 with title "Advisory: Photograph and Documentation" )

Special EPIC Campaign for Alia hit areas

Cyclone Alia.

Those who have lost their EPICs in the Cyclone Alia can get duplicates free. DEOs should organise special campaigns for this. Formal circular being issued.

Post-Counting Clean Up

All DEOs are advised to ensure that premises used as Counting Venues, DCRCs etc are cleaned up and restored to its original condition by the agency that had been engaged for constructing the temporary infrastructure in the venue.
No payment may be made unless the agency produces a certificate from the officials of the school/ college/ institution that the restoration / clean-up has been made to their satisfaction.

Hourly Poll Percentage Reports: Calling 3rd Phase Districts

As desired by the Commission, for the 3rd phase, poll percentage figures should be compiled hourly and transmitted to us.

Necessary action may be taken by all accordingly.

Advisory: Separate Queue for Senior Citizens

Senior Citizens may be given preference in voting. Form separate queues if required. Further: as indicated earlier, try to use benches in the front of the queue so that people can sit instead of stand in the queue - at least the ones who are closer to the door and so may have been waiting for a while.

SMS BASED INFORMATION SYSTEM

All first phase districts may please use the SMS based communication plan energetically!
