In order to ensure level playing field in the upcoming Lok Sabha election, the Election Commission has asked State governments to ensure that officers who are transferred out of a district after completing three years are not posted in another district within the same parliamentary constituency.
The existing EC policy on transfers says that all officers who are either posted in their home district or have completed three years at a place are transferred out ahead of the Lok Sabha or Assembly polls to ensure they do not disturb the level playing field in favour of a candidate or a party.
