Udupi, 15 December 2010: As the Zilla Panchayath and Thaluk Panchayath elections are scheduled during the celebration of Christmas and New Year, the leaders of the community have urged to reschedule the election dates.
The community leaders submitted the apeal on this matter through Deputy Commissioner Hemalatha P. to the Governer of Karnataka. They have mentioned the difficulties for the celebrations due to the elections which are also at the same time.
The Christian voters, Teachers, Govt. employees and Officers who will be taking part in the election activities will be deprived of the festive celebrations, said the community leaders and hence they have made this apeal for rescheduling the election dates.
Among the community leaders Louis Lobo, Dr. Nerry Carnelio, Boniface D’Souza, Vincent Alva, Charles Ambler and others were present.

| Google helped me to find that the ZP and TP elections are scheduled in Udipi for Dec 31, polls open at 10 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. This schedule should not distract from celebrating Christmas. Also to ring out the old year and ring in the new year. Give to Caesar what is his, and to God, what is his. The day is so huge to accommodate both obligations of faith and national duty. While Christmas is a Christian festival, new Year is not. It is a secular and universal event. For those who are not merely voters, but are involved as candidates, their supporters, volunteers, election officials, and so forth, in my view what better way than using their election work for dual purpose: meeting people, visiting the sick, aged, poor, lonely, lame and handicapped, who also have a vote. You get the opportunity to be a Santa for a while!..:D | |

| Great injustice done by the planners by scheduling such dates. Looks like it is done deliberately. Every one knows it is joyful time for a big section of the society! | |
