Haryana's State Election Commissioner, Devinder Singh Kalyan, has mandated that election observers maintain a vigilant watch over the preparedness of the district administration ahead of the local body elections scheduled for May 10. In a meeting at the Haryana State Election Commission in Panchkula, Kalyan instructed observers to monitor law and order, visit sensitive polling stations, and oversee the distribution of inducements aimed at influencing voters. Observers are required to remain at their assigned locations throughout the election process and report any deficiencies to the Commission promptly. Additionally, candidates must keep accurate records of their election expenses, with strict limits enforced; failure to comply could lead to disqualification. The elections will include municipal corporation elections in Panchkula, Ambala, and Sonepat, as well as various by-elections across the state for vacant ward member seats and positions within panchayati raj institutions.
