“The Election Commission has a regular dialogue with different political parties. In the last four months, the meeting of all parties has been organized in each election district in each district, as well as with each main election official of the state.
“Overall, 5,000 such meetings took place, attended by 28,000 people, including political parties.” CEC said that not only that, the Election Commission itself meets all national and state parties.
“Five national parties and four state parties have encountered. If it is a problem, delegations of all parties come and the EC will meet them,” he said.
