The
Election Commission of India had announced the schedule for General Election to
the Legislative Assembly of Mizoram vide its press note dated 4th
October, 2013 wherein the date of poll had been announced as 4th
December, 2013 (Wednesday) and the date of counting had been announced as 8th
December, 2013 (Sunday).
Subsequently,
representations were received by the Commission from various political parties
and other organizations of the state for changing the poll and counting dates
for this election. It has been brought to notice of the Commission that casting
of votes on 4th December, 2013 would be inconvenient for a large
segment of the people. Similarly, it has been brought to the notice of the
Commission that 8th Dec, 2013 being a Sunday would be inconvenient
for a segment of the people for whom Sunday has special significance.
