SHILLONG, April 5 – The Press Information Bureau has released the General Elections 2009 - Reference Handbook, a compendium on past elections and the latest provisions relating to the general elections, coinciding with the announcement of the general elections by the Election Commission.
The Bureau also simultaneously launched a website devoted to General Elections, 2009 - pib.nic.in/elections2009. By providing all relevant information at one place, the Handbook seeks to help journalists and analysts in writing news-stories/articles in the run up to the general elections 2009.
The Handbook includes State-wise and party-wise information about the 1999 and 2004 general elections. For example, it contains information about the performance of National parties in 1999 and 2004, their performance in SC and ST constituencies in 2004 elections, and close contests in 2004.
An entire section has been devoted to the latest guidelines, instructions and legal provisions relating to the general elections. It gives important provisions of Representation of the People Act 1951, the Model Code of Conduct for political parties and candidates, guidelines for conduct of Exit/Opinion Polls during the elections, Press Council’s guidelines on election reporting and other information useful for journalists covering this mammoth exercise.
The Handbook also contains a section giving frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the electronic voting machines and the election process.
Latest data of interest available on the date of announcement of general elections, such as the new constituency-map and data about the 14th Lok Sabha members, has been included in the handbook.
The Reference Handbook has drawn upon its own archives and data from the Election Commission and the Lok Sabha Secretariat. This volume of the Handbook will be followed by 2nd and 3rd volumes, which will be compiled subsequently only as web-editions and will contain information about the candidates in the fray, and the results with analysis.
The Handbook is available at the election website pib.nic.in/elections2009. This website has been created by the Bureau to provide an exhaustive range of information on the elections, primarily to cater to the needs of the media.
