Previous elections(2 yrs back) in the state of Tamilnadu in India to elect candidates for central government administrators raised a lot of representation from various bodies that unfair practices were followed.

This was to favor the state's ruling party's candidates in winning the elections. They lost though, winning a very few seats contested.

The unfair practices were mass removal of names of people in a particular pattern like people who were teachers, cristians,etc.,

The representations claimed that...this was done becos the ruling party during its rein had made decisions unfavorable to these people...so didn't want these people to vote trying to make the contest easier and chances brighter.

Based on these representations, election commission of india had been investigating, and deliberating on the charges made.... and came up with an interesting decision for the coming elections in the state which is to select a the next selected state government for Tamilnadu.

The decision is to transfer all government officials who are prone to favor any candidate or influencial politicians. As per this decision, election commission would solicit transfer of any official who has worked in the same place for more than 3 yrs, or is working from his native place where he has always lived. All officials who are linked to the elections, be it the Inspector general of police, or the Election observers, or whoever.

Hope this works. and the elections are fair.
