The central poll panel has also asked the CEOs to ensure that the identity of these members are kept a secret, keeping in mind their security, when they register a compliant against any electoral malpractice with regard to black money instances.

The CEOs have also been asked to share contact numbers and details of these members to all sort of observers that are deployed in the area for monitoring of poll process.

The EC, keeping in mind the security and safety of these members, has asked the CEOs that their details should also be made available to sector magistrates and senior police officers of the area.

The members of this group, the EC said, should have no political affiliation and will be those who have no blood or family relation with a candidate trying his luck at the hustings.

The VAG and WAG groups will at least have one or two women members.
