8.8 Alternative method mitigates undesirable practices.-

Probably, the aforesaid problems arise because of the vastness of the country and lack of requisite standards of behaviour and also or cooperation and understanding among the political parties to ensure a peaceful poll. As a matter of fact, the election offences are not decreasing but are increasing, with every passing election. This is really unfortunate. Even so, we may make every effort to mitigate the undesirable practices and the alternate method of election set out in this chapter is certainly a step in that direction.
