INSTRUCTIONS FOR GUIDANCE OF 'ABSENTEE VOTERS'
DDC ELECTIONS, 2020
(1) You are being provided a ballot paper of yellow colour for DDC
elections.
(2) The persons whose names are printed on this ballot paper sent
herewith are candidates at the above elections. Record your vote on the ballot paper by placing clearly a mark opposite the name of the candidate to whom you wish to give your vote. The mark should be so placed as to indicate clearly and beyond doubt to which candidate you are giving your vote. If the mark is so placed as to make it doubtful to which candidate you have given your vote, your vote will be invalid. The number of members to be elected as DDC member from one DDC Constituency is one. Thus you have only one vote for DDC election. Accordingly, you should not vote for more than one candidate on one ballot paper. If you do so, your ballot paper will be rejected. Do not put your signature or write any word or any mark, sign or writing whatsoever on the ballot paper other than the mark required to record your vote.
(3) After you have recorded your vote on the ballot paper, place the ballot paper in smaller cover A, marked Form 'DAPB-3' sent herewith.
Close the cover and secure it by seal or otherwise.
(4) You will then sign the declaration in Form 'DAPB-2', also sent herewith in the presence of an officer described in clause (5) below and get your signature attested by such officer.
(5) Attestation may be obtained from officer incharge of the area or office where you are registered. If you are employed under the UT Govt. of J&K or Central Government, the attestation may be obtained from the officer incharge of your office. If you are a pensioner, attestation may be obtained from the officer incharge of the Treasury/Bank through which you are drawing your pension. If you are not registered anywhere but your name figures in the electoral roll, the attestation may be obtained from a 1st Class Magistrate or a Gazetted Officer or incharge of the AV-Polling Team.
No. 32-9] The J&K Govt. Gazette, 5th Nov., 2020/14th Kart., 1942. 21 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– (6) You may take the declaration to the authorised officer, get it attested by signing it in his presence after he has satisfied himself about your identity. You must not show your ballot paper to the attesting officer nor tell him how you have voted.
(7) If you are unable to mark the ballot paper and sign the declaration yourself in the manner indicated above for reasons of illiteracy, blindness or other infirmity, you are entitled to have your vote marked and declaration signed on your behalf by any of the authorised officer mentioned above. Such an officer will, at your request mark the ballot paper in your presence and in accordance with your wishes. He will also complete the necessary certificate in this behalf.
(8) After your declaration has been signed and your signature has been attested, place the declaration (Form 'DAPB-2') as well as the ballot paper sealed in smaller Cover "A" (Form 'DAPB-3') in the larger Cover "B" (Form 'DAPB-4'). You have to give your full signature in the space provided on the cover marked "B".
(9) In case you have received Postal Ballot set through AV-Polling Team, then after closing the larger cover, return it to the AV-Polling Team who shall deliver it to the RO concerned.
(10) In case you have received the Postal Ballot set by post, then after closing the larger cover, send it to the RO concerned by post. No postage stamps need to be affixed.
(11) Your vote shall be counted only if it reaches the RO at least one day before the day fixed for counting in the constituency. Thus you must ensure that the DAPB is delivered to the AV-Polling Team well before this cut-of date.
