Question

Contrast the ‘elections’ in Uttaramerur with present day panchayat election?

Answer 1

                            Answer:-

The system of election in Uttaramerur was quite different from that of the  present day panchayat elections. In Uttaramerur election the names of the persons  eligible to be members of the committees were written on small tickets of palm leaves.

The tickets were put into an earthenware pot. Thereafter a young boy was asked to take  out the tickets, one by one for each committee. But the present day panchayat  members are elected through a general election. The names of the total members are  printed with a symbol allotted to them on a paper called ballot paper.

The voter put a  stamp over their choice and drops it in a ballot box. Votes are counted and the winners’  name is declared by the Returning Officer. Every procedure is organized by a statutory  body.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The polls are currently being held as per the guidelines given by the election commission. Voters have to wear face masks and follow other COVID-19 norms while voting
• The eight-phase poll in Jammu and Kashmir was earlier scheduled to be held from 5 March to 20 March on a party basis.

• posts for indulging in anti-party activities and filing nominations for the forthcoming Uttarakhand Panchayat elections.
