“Our main concern is to prevent the exploitation of public property for election purposes. However, it is important that the public too assists our cause by being vigilant and lodging complaints if and when they observe illegal election activities. It is only if we receive a complaint that we would have the mandate to act upon it,” Elections Secretariat Chief Coordinating Officer (Elections Complaints Investigation Centre) said. The source of the complaint is unimportant, the official said, adding that if they receive a complaint they ensure they leave no stones unturned. Commenting on the police responses to the complaints made on election law violations, the official said, “Issues might have arisen with the degree of attention paid to the incident. But in most cases the police have taken adequate action. Even with regard to heads of authorities, regulations are in place to take action against those who violate regulations by engaging in electioneering. As department heads they are responsible for their subordinates, resources and property falling under their purview,” he added. |
