Exceptional E-Voting Provision for Mr. Swaraj Bandekar
It has been brought to our attention that, due to an inadvertent omission, the name of Mr. Swaraj Bandekar was not included on the ballot paper under the FOSMA-MASSA Deck category.
Following a comprehensive review of the matter and exercising of the discretionary powers vested in the Election Officer, it has been resolved to introduce a one-time exceptional E-Voting provision to uphold the principles of fairness and equitable representation.
Exceptional E-Voting Procedure:
Members are hereby informed that they are permitted to cast their E-vote for Mr. Swaraj Bandekar via email as part of this exceptional arrangement.
Kindly note, E-Voting is not permitted for any other candidates.
Key Guidelines:
In the FOSMA/MASSA Deck Category, a maximum of nine (9) votes are ordinarily permitted, excluding the vote for Sr. No. 26 - Mr. Vikas Patil, as previously communicated. (as stated on MUI website)
As a special provision in this case, one additional email vote specifically for Mr. Swaraj Bandekar will be accepted and counted, bringing the total permissible votes to ten (10) in this exceptional instance.
Please note that the total number of posts to be filled remains unchanged at nine (9).
This arrangement is granted strictly as a one-time exception to address the present omission and shall not establish a precedent for future elections.
Members are requested to take due note of this exceptional provision and act accordingly.
