Citizens for Democracy Goa has asked the Goa State Election Commission to upload all details about the conduct of the Zilla Panchayat elections and later the Municipal elections on its website.
Convenor Elvis Gomes on Tuesday said it was contradictory that in this age of e-governance, the Commission had not uploaded the draft delimitation of constituencies for the upcoming ZP polls, making it available only at the Mamlatdar’s office.
He warned that the lack of transparency could lead to manipulation, not just of the redrawn constituencies but also of seat reservations.
If candidates do not get enough time to understand the status of their constituency and prepare, he said, it would be seen as an unfair exercise to favour a few.
Gomes urged the Commission to upload all information online and extend the time to file objections by one week.
