GANGTOK, 22 Nov: A section of the All Sikkim Government Employees Association (Group C and D) has demanded that only members registered with the association be allowed to vote in the forthcoming elections of the Central Executive Committee. The elections are scheduled for 07 December.
“There are around 3,000 registered members of the Association and only these members should be eligible to vote under the strict guidance of the Election Commission and the Ad-hoc Committee of the Association,” said Keshar Singh Rai, who has filed nomination papers for the post of general secretary.
“Government employees who have identity cards issued by the Home Department but are not registered members of the association should not be eligible to cast their vote”, he stated.
While another group of the Association had earlier demanded that every Group C and D employee having an identity card issued by the Home Department should be allowed to vote in the elections.
