There is no way to escape from the election duty. However, you again request the District Collector and appraise your problem and consider yours case.

The job will be easier if your deptt gives a substitute.

The Electoral Officer will not be able to do much. It is only DM or SDM who may act that too if you meet personally.

Yes,District Collector has power to grant exemption to you on considering your Problem.

as a matter of experience such exemption is granted by the DM generally after meeting the applicant and not as a routine.

It the deptt gives name of other person or any other person of any other deptt (not already on election duty) comes forward on his own, then exemption will be matter of routine.

The chances of Exemption basing on your reason would be difficult and make some arrangements to take care of your family while you are on duty.
