To take review of various arrangements for smooth conduct of Lok Sabha Elections in the State Shri T.S.Krishna Murthy Hon’ble Chief Election Commissioner of India visited Shimla on 24th April, 2004 with Dr. Noor Mohammad, Deputy Election Commissioner. Several new initiatives like (i) Submission of affidavits regarding various types of information with nomination papers by candidates, (ii) Scanning of affidavits and wide publicity thereof through Electronic/Print Media, (iii) Checking of account of election expenses by the Observers and other election related officers in three times during election process, (iv) (a) 50% deployment of polling staff out of district in Solan, Bilaspur, Una and Hamirpur districts (b) 50% deployment of polling staff out of Assembly Constituencies in six districts (except three tribal ACs).

(vii) Formation of screening and review Committees for advertisements through TV Channels and Cable Networks by the Political Parties and Candidates were made by the Election Commission of India to ensure free and fair election.

The elections were conducted with commendable speed and efficiency in a smooth and peaceful manner without any untoward incident for which public of the State, political parties, efficient officers and official deployed for election duties, Police and Para Forces Personnel including Himachal Home Guards and other election related staff deserve all praise and credit.

As far as, this book containing statistical data analysis and other election related information is concerned, this is the well-organised attempt in the department of Elections to document the enormous work done under difficult circumstances, hopefully it will be useful to administrators, political parties, academics, researchers, media and general public. However, suggestion from any side for its improvement will be welcome.
