This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir/Madam,
Two Groups fought Resident Welfare Election.
One group just named themselves as LOTUS GROUP. The
without any symbol, does it mean it is affiliated to any party?
The other faction which fought the election successfully by using a replica of the BALLOT PAPER be circulated with selected candidates ticked to gain more votes.
My question:
01. Using LOTUS GROUP means affiliation to any POLITICAL PARTY???
02. Can a REPLICA OF BALLOT PAPER be circulated by a group ticking in column against their name??? Does it not amount to violation of rules.
Hope this is not a vague query or unfit query.
Thanks/Regards

1. No.
2.No.
People can make groups or associations for pursuing a common purpose or objective. So also, they can make use of all legitimate means for canvassing support. The alleged replica of ballots only amounts to suggestion for voting and no undue influence is involved.

You will find answer to all your question within the bye laws of the association which will be having a frame work or guidelines to conduct an election if needed, or it may follow the general rules if agreed to by the committee.
