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.
(12) Please note that—
(i) If you fail to get your declaration certified in the manner
indicated above, your ballot papers will be rejected ; and
(ii) If the cover reaches the RO concerned after the day prescribed
in clause (11) above, your vote will not be counted.

(1) You are being provided ballot paper(s). The pink one is for the
election of Sarpanch of your Panchayat Halqa and the white one is for

(2) The persons whose names are printed on these ballot paper sent
herewith are candidates at the above elections. Record your vote on each
of the ballot papers by placing clearly a mark opposite the name of the
candidate to whom you wish to give your vote. The marks 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 Sarpanch of the Halqa is one and also the
number of members to be elected as Panch for your Panch constituency is
also one. Thus you have only one vote for Sarpanch election and one for
Panch election. Accordingly, you should not vote for more than one
