What is the Disclosure by Candidates?
1 Recently the Election Commission of India has made it mandatory
consequent upon a Judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court that all candidates
must file an affidavit along with their nomination form with details such as:-
i. his/her criminal antecedents,
ii. his/her assets and liabilities and those of his/her spouse and
dependents, and
iii. his/her educational background.
This has been done with a view that every citizen has a right to know about
the candidates contesting an election and make an informed choice.
2 The Election Commission has directed all Returning Officers to display
the copies of nomination papers and accompanying affidavits received during
any day on his notice board immediately on receipt and make copies of these
for distribution to the press and any members of public who want this
information, free of cost. Any citizen of the country can obtain copies of
the nomination form and the affidavit filed by any candidate from the
Returning Officer and it shall not be refused. As a voter you have every
right to seek this information and get it.
3 The details of the dues owed by the candidates to the Government are
published by giving an advertisement in the leading newspapers by the
Returning Officer for the benefit of electors.

What is the process of voting? How do you go about it?
1 The poll date and hours are fixed by the Election Commission India
and they are well publicized before all elections.
2 When you reach the polling station, entry will be regulated by queues.
There will be separate queues for men and women voters and the physically
handicapped persons. The persons who enforce the queues will allow 3-4
voters into the polling station at a time. Physically handicapped voters and
women voters with babies in arm will be given precedence over the other
voters in the queue.
When you enter the polling station, you will go to the First
Polling Officer who is in-charge of the marked copy of the electoral roll and
responsible for identification of electors. You should keep your identity
document ready to show to the First Polling Officer. You can also show to him
the unofficial identity slip giving your particulars. However, you should note
that unofficial identity slip only helps in locating your name in the electoral roll
but is not a guarantee of your identification. The First Polling Officer will then
call out your name and serial number so that the polling agents become
aware of your presence and your identity is not challenged.
Stage 2:
Thereafter, if your identity is not challenged, you will
proceed to the Second Polling Officer who will mark your left forefinger with
the indelible ink. Thereafter, he will proceed to record your serial number in
the electoral roll in the Register of Voters. Once this is recorded, you are to
sign in the appropriate column in the Register of Voters. If a voter cannot sign,
his/her thumb impression will be obtained. The Second Polling Officer will
then give you a signed voter’s slip which will record your serial number in the
register of voters and your serial number in the electoral roll.
Stage 3:
You will then proceed to the Third Polling Officer who will
take the voter’s slip issued to you by the Second Polling Officer. The Third
Polling Officer will press the "Ballot" button on the Control Unit of voting
machine and direct you to the voting compartment where you will record your
vote on the balloting unit of the voting machine. Please note that each voter
will proceed to the voting compartment in exactly the same sequence in which
his/her serial number is recorded in the voters’ register.
Stage 4: Voting Procedure.
Inside the voting compartment, you are to press the blue candidate button
on the Balloting Unit against the name and symbol of the candidate of your
choice.
• Press the button only once.
• On the candidate button being pressed, the red lamp will glow against the
name and symbol of that candidate.

recorded and the Busy lamp goes off in the Control Unit.
