1)team member should not have approached any member of society to stand for election officer . his job is only to conduct elections and not do canvassing

2) you should send letter to him expressing strong displeasure of his conduct and ask him to refrain from approaching members to stand for elections

1. even if the team member has approached certain members for contesting the election, it is upto those members whether to stand for elections or not

2. ultimately it will be the final votes cast by the society members which will prevail

3. but if that team member approaches a particular member and then goes to other members to vote for that member then it will be like influencing the outcome of the elections

4. merely by approaching the society members to stand for and contest the elections, in my view, i do not see any wrong doing by your team member, because it is upto the general body of society members whom to elect and whom to not

Dear Client,

Very poor understanding, being part of election team, this act shows favoritism and against the policy of free and fair trials. Act is same as same as insider trading if he was in the company.

He have to be neutral and abide by election codes. If he claims to be members first than part of ET than he is should be terminate and enjoy membership.

1. Is my team member is right in doing this to strengthening the democratic system? --- Violation of election code.

2. Since all of us are elected by EGBM and presently there is only care taker office bearers who will take action and what action has to be taken - if he is wrong? ---- terminate

I do not want this point to be used as a canvassing point by contestants, saying that Election Team is partial and biased.

1. Sir the member act is violation of election rules as he can promote the election but cannot request some members individually further issue the warning to the such member ask him to further refrain himself from such act.

For query one since he Is a member of your team he shouldn't have approached anyone for canvassing since being a member of election team he is bound to be impartial and not biased towards particular candidate.

If he is wrong his name should be withdrawn/terminated from the team and new person should be appointed on his place.

1. If a member of the Election Team stands as a candidate, there will be conflict of interest. He has to quit the Election Team first and then stake his claim.

2. The Election Team may very well advise him in writing that he cannot be part of the Election Team and stand as a candidate at the same time. If need be, the Election Team may take appropriate action against him, as it has been nominated by the EGBM.

Dear Sir,

My answers are as follows:

1. Is my team member is right in doing this to strengthening the democratic system?

Ans: His action is correct unless it is evidenced by concrete documents, he may deny the same if you approach the Court or other authority.

2. Since all of us are elected by EGBM and presently there is only care taker office bearers who will take action and what action has to be taken - if he is wrong?

I do not want this point to be used as a canvassing point by contestants, saying that Election Team is partial and biased.

kindly help me.

Ans: You may lodge a complaint with a appropriate authority to cancel his nomination.

As an election officer in charge of the entire election team , you have certain rights to exercise control over the team working under you.

If the allegations are found to be correct you can issue a show cause notice to the erring team member and if his reply is not satisfactory you can initiate proper legal action as per rules which may include removing him from the post and find a suitable replacement.

This is a momentary decision taken judiciously.

The election has to be conducted and the various elected committee should be constituted. The ex office bearers cant be said as committee members. No in present case your election team can't be called bias
