Mohali: Deputy Commissioner-cum-District Electoral Officer Aashika Jain on Sunday made it clear that election-related hoardings, posters, or banners must have the identity of printer and publisher. Citing the fresh guidelines issued by the Election Commission of India regarding the election-related hoardings on sites controlled or regulated by local self-government or Municipal Authorities, Jain said that the ECI has emphasized that the fundamental imperatives which underwrite the design of R P Act 1951 and the Model Code of Conduct in the campaigning space, in print mode, inter-alia, are the disclosure of identity of the publisher and, thereby his responsibility of the content of the material so published.  Similarly, Section 127A of the R P Act 1951 clearly prohibits publishing of election pamphlet or poster without bearing the name and publisher on the face thereof. Section 127 A (3) (b) gives a wide amplitude to the meaning of the phase “election pamphlet or poster”, to include “placard or poster”. Thus, any non-compliances or obfuscation of this requirement is always to be viewed seriously.

She has advised all municipal authorities or such authorities that are responsible for hoardings, posters, or banners etc for strict compliance of the orders of ECI. Besides, printers and publishers (political parties or candidates or their representatives) have also been asked to adhere to the directions of ECI, in principle.
