Final Note from Election Officer.

Date : 24.03.2021

Sub: Final Note from EO and Dissolution of Election Commission.

Dear Members,

This is the Final mail that is being sent to all members of VGN SFOWA before dissolving the Election Commission.

Consequent to the Resignation of Executive /Management Committee after the completion of their full term, the decision was taken by the General Body Meeting ( GBM) held on 18.10.2020 to fill up the vacancies created, for the term 2021-23. Specific TOR had been served.

Elections were conducted on 21.03.2021, by following the provisions of The Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act 1975, The Tamil Nadu Societies Rules 1978, and the Registered Bye-Law of VGN SFOWA as far as the same does not contradict the parent act and the rules made thereunder.

Conduct of Elections :

It was a daunting task, specifically because of the nature of our Bye-Law, which contravenes the parent Act in crucial places. Seeing the volatile situation on the ground, the legal opinion was sought and we carried the Election Process. The Process was difficult, it was mentally immensely taxing, it was terrible sometimes owing to the high stakes on the ground.

The Process became even tougher and challenging because there was no MC, and the Election Officer had to take custody of the Association, as well conduct the Elections.

But we saw the real Stafford on Election Day. Apart from some fringe issues, before the start of the election, it went on smoothly and perfectly. We saw record turnouts of members/Owners to vote. We are testimony to the perfect co-operation from all candidates among themselves, on the D day and also with the  Election Team. It was great to have such a crucial day, passed so wonderfully. I salute all Staffordians who made this happen.

Tried new Things

This Election saw a lot of new things. Telegram app, using our Website, Notices, rules, forms, voters photo, ballot boxes, Bilingual Ballot Papers with photos, video recordings from both sides, participation of neutral people from outside Stafford, counting process etc etc. The list is big. We only tried to make it better from the earlier years and we are certain that the next Election Officer, will do much better than us.

Without whom it would have never been possible:

It would have been impossible to conduct this election, without the Inputs of Mr. Lawrence, sheer  hard work, Implementations by Mr. Ganesh Malla, absolute dedication by Mr. Rajesh Selvam and the continuous and total support by Mr. Krishnan K.V. They are the real talents and heroes of VGN Stafford. My sincere gratitude to them.

Special Thanks:

Special Thanks to Mrs. Lawrence for supporting throughout on the Election Day and also in the backend.

Special thanks to Mr. Gopinath, Mr. Mathiyalagan, Mr. Dinesh Kumar, Mr. Vasanth, and Mr. Senthil, who despite being a Sunday, and working in Railways, given their entire day to the cause of Stafford having no relation with Stafford, free of cost. It’s a testimony of exemplary selfless dedication. Entire Staffordians are proud and thankful to them. If people from outside can do such an immense job in supporting us, why can’t we? Yes, we can.

DISSOLUTION

With this I declare the dissolution of this Election Commission.
