Kathmandu, Nepal: The Election Commission (EC) has been mulling the idea to allow the government employees deployed on election duty to cast votes in the upcoming provincial and parliamentary elections slated for November 26 and December 7.
It is said that the government deployed on election duty would be allowed to cast votes to the Proportional Representation (PR) category.
The EC has made the idea after the Supreme Court on Tuesday said that the the EC would certainly consider a way out to ensure that voting rights of government employees as guaranteed in Article 84 (5) of the constitution were not violated.
Article 84 (5) states that each citizen of Nepal who has completed the age of 18 years shall have right to vote in an election constituency as provided for in the federal law.
