Election Commission seeks suggestions from parties on 'unresolved issues', to accept feedback till April 30

Amid continuous questions raised by the Opposition parties, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has invited suggestions from all national and state political parties on any "unresolved issues" at any level. It is also looking at an interaction with top leaders of all major political parties on the same.

The poll panel will accept feedback from political parties until April 30, as per a statement issued. The poll panel is also learnt to have issued communications to all political parties to help resolve outstanding issues at all levels, including at the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) level. The idea is to strengthen the "electoral processes in accordance with the established law".

Meanwhile, the BJD, BJP and AITC have agreed to nominate their Booth Level Agents, polling agents, counting agents and election agents for the ECI's customised training programmes for representatives of political parties.


Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar also presided over a conference last week where he instructed CEOs, DEOs and EROs of all states/UTs to hold regular interactions with political parties and resolve any suggestions received in such meetings strictly within the legal framework

An action taken report is also sought by the commission by March 31, 2025.
