Azhar said the process of handing over nomination papers will be as per usual practice but candidates will no longer be allowed to have a procession to the nomination centre along with their supporters.“To minimise gatherings and the risk of Covid-19 infection, the same SOP is to be adhered to by the candidate at the official counting centre. The EC will work closely with the police to ensure that SOP is followed, ” said Azhar.
“Instead, candidates can maximise campaign methods via social media and the EC monitoring team will be on the lookout for the campaign activities to be carried out by the candidates, ” he said.
