Guidelines to the Candidates/Voters for Smooth Conduct of

Election for the Executive Committee of GSTA.

Following guidelines are being issued for information of general voters of GSTA for the smooth conduct of Elections.

1.       The Polling time will be from 8.00 am to 4.00 am and thereafter counting will take place at the polling booth itself by the same polling staff.

2.       The voters will have to prove their Identity by ID card, DGEHS Medical Card and certificate on letter head issued by the HOS of the school as a first priority. The Presiding Officer may allow any other ID proof such as PAN card, Driving License, EPIC and Passport as a second alternative. Each voter shall record his/her Employee ID on the counter foil of ballet paper under his/her signature.

3.       The polling agents may challenge any voter for impersonation by paying a fee of Rs. 5.00 to presiding officer for which he will issue a receipt. PrO then will hold a summary inquiry and will not allow a wrong person to cast his/her vote after satisfying himself.

4.       Each voter will be supplied with two separate ballot papers- one for District Team and other for Central Team.

5.       The voter will be required to put his/her full signature on the counterfoil of the two ballot papers and records his/her Employee ID under signatures.

6.       The vote will be cast by putting “right sign” or “Cross Mark” within the slot/box of the candidates with a pen supplied by PRO. In case of right sign the initial point will prevail over the tail on its crossing the border line. In case of right sign or cross mark in more than one slot/box the vote will be rejected. However in case of Vice President, two right signs or cross marks are to be put since there are two seats of vice president in central team.

7.       In the Central Team, there are twelve office bearers and therefore, the voter is to cast two votes for the post of “Vice-President” and only one vote for each other post. In total he/she has to cast twelve votes for Central Team.

8.       In the District Team, there is one post of  “District Secretary” in all the 13 districts. The number of post of Executive members are 02 in District New Delhi, 04 each in District NW-A/North/West-B/SW-A/SW-B/South/South East/Central and o6 each in the Districts East/NE/NW-B/West-A. In case the voter marks more than the number of post(s), the ballot for that post will be cancelled.

9.       After casting the votes, the voter will hand over both the ballot papers to the Polling Officer No. 04 who will then put the ballot papers in the ballot box.

10.   No canvassing will be permissible within the school where polling booth is set up.
