I had duly sent an application to the Election Officer which was acknowledged by the Returning Officer stating that before i contest the elections i would like to clarify certain clarifications to the memberships /the Bye laws/eligibility of voters but he answered to me in person stating that preparing the voters list and your queries regarding the eligibility of membership is the duty of the Office bearers and not his and we have forwarded the letter to the Office Bearers.He never answered this in written to me.
The office bearers have received my letter but never have answered to my application too and now i have not been able to exert my right of elections as the last date of filing of the nomination is over now.
Now what should i do.

But if the Managing Committee also has not answered my letter and they have continued on with irregular list of members, what should be done now.
Should i send another letter to the Managing Commitee now.

You should now make a written complaint to the registrar of your area and should also seek his intervention in the whole issue immediately and even take over the charge of such society in its hands as the same is not working as per rules.

If our letters to the Registrar are delayed due to procedural delays and the results of such illegal elections are announced , will these elections termed as legal.
If we complain to the Registrar after the elections will the have some diff. implications though we are not going to be part of the election process both as candidates and voters.
