Election Commission reminds: “Refrain from canvassing in public offices”

The National Election Commission reminded that it is prohibited to canvass or distribute handbills or any such election campaigning in state offices and institutions.

Issuing a statement, the Election Commission said election campaigning or conducting meetings in any Public or Provincial Council office or any government school or any local government office or in any institution belonging to any State Corporation or Statutory Board for and on behalf of any candidate contesting the Local Authorities election are prohibited.

 
The Election Commission notified to all politicians, political activists, and trade union activists that it is mandatory to abstain from engaging in such activities.

It shall be the responsibility of the Heads of Government or Provincial Council offices or Government Schools or Local Government offices or State Corporations or Statutory Boards or of their Sub-offices not to allow to commit any such illegal activities within the office premises under their control. Attention in this regard is drawn to paragraphs 2:4 and 2:5 of the Chapter XXXII of the Establishment Code.
