Aizawl, Nov 27: A six-member delegation of NGO Coordination Committee (NGOCC), an umbrella body of influential civil society and students’ organisations, would meet the Election Commission on Tuesday.
The counting of votes of the November 7 Mizoram Assembly elections is on December 3, 2023.
The NGOCC delegation, which went to Delhi on Thursday last week, would meet the Election Commission on Tuesday as part of its last-ditch effort to convince the poll panel to change the vote counting date, which falls on a Sunday.
Since the announcement of the election schedule for five states on October 9, all political parties, church bodies, NGOs, and civil society organisations in the Christian-majority state (87 per cent) have been requesting the ECI to reschedule the counting date, which is on December 3 – a Sunday.
The ECI reportedly told the CEO that it will not reschedule the counting date since unlike polling, counting of votes does not involve common people who are free to do what they like on Sunday (December 3).
