With only a few days left for polling of 'General Election-2019' in the national Capital, the poll body on Monday has directed the Delhi Government's departments to send proposals seeking exemptions of Delhi Chief Electoral Office (CEO) online for its clearance.
In a written communication to the secretary of General Administration Department (GAD), the chief electoral office said that it will not process offline proposals any further.
The poll panel stated that an online module has been devised for seeking exemption for various proposals as per the provisions of model code of conduct and the related guidelines.
"...Henceforth, all the proposals seeking exemptions of ECl/CEO should be sent online. This office will not process offline proposals any further. This may kindly be brought to the notice of all concerned for information and compliance," the CEO office said in the communication.
The move came days after the GAD had issued an advisory to all heads of departments asking them to send only those proposals which are routed through the two-member screening committee chaired by Chief Secretary Vijay Kumar Dev.
Delhi, which sends seven members to Parliament, will vote in the sixth phase of Lok Sabha polls on May 12.
