Madam,

Sub: Ordinary elections Local Bodies - Elections process stopped forthwith due to COVID-l9 - Process will continue after sixweeks or threat of spread of COVID-19 recedes, whichever is earlier - MCC shall continue to be on force - Reg,

    I am enclosing a copy of the Notification No.6B/SEC-81/2020, dated15.03.2020 issued by me stopping all further election process in connectionwith conduct of elections to MPTCs/ZPTCs and Urban Loqal Bodies with immediate effect for a period of six weeks or till the threat spread ofCOVID-19 recedes, whichever is earlier. The Gram Panchayat elections will be notified later. The reasons for taking this decision to postpone election process are clearly explained in the Notification.
    The District administration may print the ballot papers for MPTC/ZPTC election and preserve them in safe custody, so as to use them for conduct of poll whenever election process is re-notified for continuation from the stage at which it is stopped now on 15.03.2020. Similarly, the election process of Urban Local Bodies will also start from the stage atwhich it is stopped now.


    The Model Code of Conduct for Local Body elections shall continue toremain in force during this six weeks period or till the threat of spread of COVID-19 recedes, whichever is earlier. The Commission will review the situation from time to time and take a decision on continuation of election process. As the Model Code of Conduct is in force, any request for exemption from MCC by the Government on any issue will be examined on merits and as per the guidelines followed by ECI and necessary orders will be passed. I request you to bring this to the notice of all the concerned and cooperate.


Yours faithfully,
