The recommendations received in the dialogue and the EC review have been proposed in the People's Representation Order (RPO).
The amendment proposal was sent to the Law Ministry for Vetting on Monday. Now the law can be amended if the government wants.
Rasheda Sultana, convener of the Election Commission and EC's Law Reform Committee, said, ‘We had already finalized the reform proposals before the dialogue. But the file was suspended for the dialogue and the various recommendations in the dialogue were taken into consideration."
dialog We have sent the file by attaching the steps for fair elections in light. As much as the EC has considered to be an amendment, it has been proposed to amend it.’
EC Additional Secretary Ashok Kumar Debnath said, ‘The commission meeting regarding the revision of the RPO was approved by the commission meeting last Sunday. It was sent to the ministry on Monday.’
EC officials said that if the complaint is proved in the investigation of the election at any stage during the election, the vote is canceled, the election is illegally obstructed and polling. The connivance of the officer and the intimidation or obstruction of the polling agents is recommended for the punishment of the culprits and to keep women represented in the committee at all levels of the party until 2030.
The 12th parliamentary elections will be held between November 2023 and January 2024. The EC has already held dialogues with all stakeholders including political parties. The EC has adopted some of the recommendations from these dialogues.
It is known that the Election Commission has the power to stop the polling if there is any unequal in the polling during the election, but the commission has nothing to do with the return officer after the polling.
Therefore, even if the results of the revised proposal are announced, the power to cancel the result is sought until the election is published in the form of an unequal evidence in the election, for this reason, two sub-sections are proposed to be added in Article 91.
At any moment of the election, the election has been proposed to stop/repeal the election due to muscle power or other reasons. If someone's candidature is canceled under this rule, the concerned person cannot participate in the new election.
If a person who has illegal influence and prevents a person who is in the election work by exerting an illegal influence or tries to obstruct the election, it is proposed to add sub-sections in Article 44 to bring the punishment.
The promises to have 33 percent of women representation in all-level committees of registered political parties have ended in 2020. The promises to comply with the registration conditions are to be complied with the parties until 2030. Khasjat has been proposed and the party has proposed to reduce the constitution of the party to 30 days.
The proposed amendment will go to the Cabinet meeting after the vetting of the Ministry, which is approved in the form of a revised bill in Parliament.
The amendments will be added to the RPO only if the Parliament is passed in the form of a bill in the Parliament after the examination of the Parliamentary Committee on this matter, and the RPO will remain as it is if the Cabinet does not approve any amendment.
