अधिसूचना

दिनांक, 28 अक्तूबर, 2022

यतः, लोक प्रतिनिधित्व अधिनियम, 1951 (संक्षेप में लो.प्र.अधिनियम, 1951) की धारा 126क में यह निर्दिष्ट किया गया है कि ''(1) कोई भी व्यक्ति कोई निर्गम मत सर्वेक्षण नहीं करेगा और किसी निर्गम मत सर्वेक्षण के परिणाम का, ऐसी अवधि के दौरान जो निर्वाचन आयोग द्वारा इस संबंध में अधिसूचित की जाए, प्रिंट या इलेक्ट्रॉनिक मीडिया के माध्यम से प्रकाशन या प्रचार या किसी भी प्रकार की अन्य रीति में प्रसार नहीं करेगा।

(2) निर्वाचन आयोग, उपधारा (1) के प्रयोजन के लिए, निम्नलिखित को ध्यान में रखते हुए साधारण आदेश द्वारा तारीख और समय अधिसूचित करेगा, अर्थात्‌ः-

(क) साधारण निर्वाचन की दशा में, वह अवधि मतदान के पहले दिन को मतदान के लिए नियत समय के आरंभ होने से प्रांरभ हो सकेगी और सभी राज्यों और संघ राज्य क्षेत्रों में मतदान समाप्त होने के आधे घंटे तक जारी रह सकेगी;

परन्तु भिन्न-भिन्न दिनों पर एक साथ कराए जाने वाले अनेक उप-निर्वाचनों की दशा में, वह अवधि मतदान के पहले दिन को मतदान के लिए नियत समय के आरंभ होने से प्रांरभ हो सकेगी और अंतिम मतदान समाप्त होने के पश्चात्‌ आधे घंटे तक जारी रह सकेगी। (3) ऐसा कोई व्यक्ति, जो इस धारा के उपबंधों का उल्लंघन करेगा ऐसी अवधि के कारावास से, जो दो वर्ष तक की हो सकेगी या जुर्माने से या दोनों से, दंडनीय होगा।''

अब, इसलिए लोक प्रतिनिधित्व अधिनियम, 1951 की धारा 126क की उपधारा(1) के अधीन शक्तियों का प्रयोग करते हुए निर्वाचन आयोग उक्त धारा की उप-धारा (2) के उपबंधों के दृष्टिगत, 12-11-2022 (शनिवार) को पूर्वाहन्‌ 8.00 बजे से अपराहन्‌ 5.30 बजे के बीच की अवधि को, ऐसी अवधि के रूप में अधिसूचित करता है जिसके दौरान उपर उल्लिखित साधारण निर्वाचन के संदर्भ में किसी भी प्रकार के एग्ज़िट पोल का आयोजन करने तथा प्रिंट या इलेक्ट्रॉनिक मीडिया द्वारा इसके परिणाम के प्रकाशन या प्रचार अथवा किसी भी अन्य तरीके से उसका प्रचार-प्रसार करने पर प्रतिबंध होगा।

यह भी स्पष्ट किया जाता है कि लोक प्रतिनिधित्व अधिनियम, 1951 की धारा 126(1)(ख) के अधीन उपर्युक्त साधारण निर्वाचन में संबंधित मतदान क्षेत्रों में मतदान की समाप्ति के लिए नियत समय पर समाप्त होने वाले 48 घंटों के दौरान किसी भी इलेक्ट्रॉनिक मीडिया में किसी भी ओपीनियन पोल या किसी अन्य मतदान सर्वेक्षण के परिणामों सहित किसी भी प्रकार के निर्वाचन संबंधी मामले के प्रदर्शन पर प्रतिबंध होगा।
