Chapter-13 : Other information as may be prescribed:
(i) General information on conduct of elections:

The Constitution of India has vested in the Election Commission of India, the
superintendence, direction and control of the entire process for conduct of elections to
Parliament and Legislature of every State and to the offices of President and Vice-President
of India.
Elections are conducted according to the constitutional provisions, supplemented
by laws made by Parliament. The major laws are the Representation of the People Act, 1950,
which mainly deals with the preparation and Revision of Electoral Rolls, the Representation of
the People Act, 1951, which deals, in detail, with all aspects of conduct of elections and post-
election disputes. The Supreme Court of India has held that where the enacted laws are
silent or make insufficient provision to deal with a given situation in the conduct of elections,
the Election Commission has the residuary powers under the Constitution to act in an
appropriate manner.
For more information on election related activities, contents of Handbook
published by Election Commission of India, etc. can be obtained from the website of Election
Commission of India, i.e. www.eci.gov.in.
(ii) Obtaining Electoral Rolls:
(a) The Electoral Rolls for all the Assembly Constituencies of the district are available in
the Office of the Electoral Registration Officer. The electoral roll of a concerned polling
station is also available with the concerned Booth Level Officer (BLO). The electoral
rolls of all assembly constituencies are also available in the website
http://ceonagaland.nic.in
(b) Copies of the Electoral Rolls available with the Electoral Registration Officers may be
obtained on payment of the fees as detailed below:
 Copy of the computerized current Electoral Rolls Rs.2.00 per page.
 Copies of extract of Electoral Rolls at Rs.5/- per record.
 PS CD ROM containing the Electoral Rolls data Rs.100/-
 If all the Assembly Constituencies under the jurisdiction of a District Election
Officer do not fit in one CD, then that may be split into more than one CD with
each CD sale price being fixed at Rs.100/-
(iii) EPIC:
The Electoral Registration Officer prepares the EPIC (Electors Photo Identity Card)
of the registered elector and is issued to the elector free of cost. If the elector
claims that the EPIC issued earlier is lost, a duplicate EPIC is issued on payment of
42
Rs.25/- based on the declaration/application made by the concerned elector.
However, no fee is charged for issue of first EPIC, in case of an error that can be
attributed to the electoral machinery and EPIC lost due to natural calamities like
cyclone, flood, earthquake etc.
(iv) NVD (National Voters Day) is celebrated on 25th January every year to create
electoral awareness as a measure to enhance participation of citizens in the
democratic process to make universal adult franchise a complete reality. The
newly registered electors in the latest revision are facilitated in a brief ceremony
organized at the National Level, State Level, District Level, Assembly Constituency
Level etc. 25th January is the Election Commission of India Foundation Day, and
starting from the year 2011 the Commission decided to celebrate as National
Voters Day.
