A full bench of the Election Commission was in the state for the past two days to assess its poll preparation.

After holding discussions with state civil and police officials at Dimapur, Chief Election Commissioner V S Sampath told newsmen that 95 per cent of Photo Electoral Roll had been completed in the state.

He instructed the election officials to complete the remaining five per cent work before the coming assembly election.

The CEC said like in other parts of the country, expenditure monitoring during electioneering would be implemented in Nagaland to curb the practice of money power in elections.

 

A comprehensive set of instructions, he said, had been given to the state election department for expenditure monitoring.

Similarly, political parties and their candidates along with agents would be sensitized on this aspect through special workshops.

The tenure of the present Nagaland assembly expires on March 18.

The last assembly election was held in the state on March 5, 2008. MORE
