Gen-G representative Bhavana Raut has questioned the government and the Election Commission about whether there will be a system for inter-district voting in the House of Representatives elections scheduled for Falgun 21.
In a meeting between political parties, the Election Commission, security agencies and citizen representatives convened by Prime Minister Sushila Karki at Singha Durbar on Monday, Raut demanded that arrangements be made for direct and proportional inter-district voting in the upcoming elections.
Raut said that Gen-G has been demanding Nepalis living abroad and inter-district voting for a long time to make legal arrangements for inter-district voting and implement it. 'The government and the Election Commission should tell us whether there will be a system for direct and proportional inter-district voting or not? Tell us whether direct and proportional inter-district voting is possible,' she said. 'I made a voter ID card when I was 16, but I have not been able to vote yet. I work in Kathmandu. Jhapa is my home. The government has not created a situation where I have to pay 10,000 to go to Jhapa for the election. Don't take away my right to vote.'
Reminding that there was a system of inter-district voting in the past as well, Raut said, 'If inter-district voting is not held this time too, it will be an insult to the martyrs and the injured. If this is not done, the government should raise its hand. It is clear that your priority is not elections.'
