| Election Watch Kerala (EWK) is a civil society initiative to
ensure a free and fair election during the forthcoming Lok Sabha
elections on 10th of May 2004. It is a committee of impartial persons
from different walks of life interested in ensuring that many of
the ills that plague our electoral system are removed and India
is not merely the largest democracy in the world but also the greatest.
It is linked to a number of such initiatives in the country inspired
by the work of organisations like the Association
for Democratic Reform (ADR) and Lok
Satta.
EWK intends to
- Put pressure on the political parties to put up candidates with a clean record in public and personal life
- Analyse the information provided in the affidavits of candidates and to widely disseminate them to the public so that voters have a better understanding of the candidates
- Provide information to the public about the election process, rights of voters and to register complaints about malpractices
- Watch out for malpractices including that of excess spending by candidates and to provide information to the Chief Electoral Officer and Election Commission Observers
If anyone wishes to
- Make a complaint about malpractices
- Ask questions about the election process and rules
- To volunteer your services to EWK
