What it means
The Election Commission of India, in consultation with the Assam State Government, has issued a notification regarding the designation and jurisdiction of District Election Officers (DEOs) for each district in Assam.
This notification supersedes the earlier notification No. 508/AS/2016, dated 08.03.2016.
Key Changes
The notification designates specific officers, typically the District Commissioner or an Additional District Commissioner/Sub-Divisional Officer, as the District Election Officer (DEO) for each district in Assam.
It specifies the area of jurisdiction for each DEO, which corresponds to specific constituencies within the district.
The notification lists 50 districts and their respective District Election Officers along with their areas of jurisdiction.
For example, for Baksa district, the District Commissioner is designated as the District Election Officer, with jurisdiction over the 41-Manas, 42-Baksa (ST), 43-Tamulpur (ST), and 44-Goreswar constituencies.
The notification is issued in pursuance of sub-sections (1) and (2) of Section 13AA of the Representation of the People Act, 1950 (43 of 1950).
