Here is the list of election observers for phase 1 and 2 of the elections. Some of them have called and want to be connected to civil society groups like all of us and know how elections and campaign is going on.

Please do call the observers and report any electoral malpractices to them. This includes distribution of money, liquor, clothes, mobile handsets, other gifts etc. If you can send us a copy of whatever you send to them, we will compile this, share it with all of you, and evolve a plan to take this forward with the Election Commission in Delhi.

Please also send this observer contacts to all your friends and network as well.

We are holding our Phase 1 elections press conference on May 5 in Bangalore. Please do hold a similar conference in your districts if possible on that date itself. We are using the name “Karnataka Election Watch”. Please feel free to use that name in your districts – or any other anme as you like.

We will send you data by soft copy on your candidates on may 4th. Elese you can also collect candidate information from the DCs office or from the returning Officers. The media shows a lot of interest. We have a good chance of reaching a lot of voters this time.
