Ahead of the local body elections scheduled for April 26, the district collector in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, has initiated a 'single-window system' to facilitate the granting of permissions for political candidates wishing to hold public meetings and processions. This system aims to simplify the process, allowing candidates to obtain necessary permissions from a single location instead of multiple offices. Additionally, the Commissioner of Police, G S Malik, has set restrictions on convoys accompanying candidates during nomination filings, limiting them to three vehicles and prohibiting vehicles within 100 meters of election officer offices. Furthermore, candidates must secure written consent from property owners to use private property for campaign materials, ensuring that such permissions are not obtained under duress. Key election deadlines include the last date for filing nominations on April 11, scrutiny until April 13, and the withdrawal deadline on April 15.
