The Election Commission is reportedly going to revise a number of electoral laws ahead of the eleventh parliamentary election. Election Commission sources said before the tenth parliamentary election, a candidate was required to hold membership of his/her political party for at least three years before being eligible for candidacy. The previous election commission excluded the provision prior to the last election, sources added. “So, a second thought should be given before incorporating such provisions,” the Sujan secretary said. The Eleventh Parliamentary Election will be held anytime between November 2018 and January 2019.
