CHEWOG ZOMDU FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION, 2016
It is good for coming up with Chewog Zomdu before the general round for LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION by Election Commission of Bhutan (ECB). The main purpose of Chewog Zomdu is to brief on election rules and regulations and to know the candidate contesting for different post. The point what I have observed is that only the voters available in the Chewog are given preference to cast votes to elect the candidate from their Chewog, but my suggestion is that why poster ballots is not allowed for the individuals that wish to take part in Primary round/ Chewog Zomdu living in other places which fall under respective chewogs. It could be better if ECB provides equal opportunity for the registered voters not only living in chewog but also people living outside chewog. To make sure of poster ballots for the chewog zomdu the candidates that wish to contest for different post can register before the chewog zomdu because zomdu and election is together, so it can be transparent to all the eligible voters living outside the chewog and it can be done same as General/ Final round.
