Money should not influence voters: Nagaland poll officer

DIMAPUR: Election expenditure officer (EEO) for Dimapur I, II, and III assembly constituencies Suboth Singh has categorically said money power should not find any space in influencing voters during the coming assembly elections.

The EEO enquired about the ongoing election activities undertaken thus far from the magistrates and nodal officers and briefed them on how to go about ensuring free and fair elections without any inducement and prejudices.

Singh cleared the queries of the nodal officers and magistrates about expenditure and monitoring issues by explaining all the legal provisions and instructions of the Election Commission.

Terming elections as the festival of democracy, Singh urged the officers to create an ecosystem to enable the voters to come and cast their vote with free conscience without money power.
