KATHMANDU: The social site monitoring committee of the Election Commission has reviewed the use of social sites and digital media in the May 13 local election.

At the committee’s meeting here on Wednesday, the secretary of the Election Commission and the committee’s coordinator Gokarna Mani Duwadi concluded that the committee’s work to monitor and take action against the misuse of the digital platform during the poll was effective despite a limited timeframe and resources.

It could carry out more effective work in the coming election by learning from difficulties that surfaced in election-related arrangements and existing laws, he said.

Social sites and digital media were fully utilized to disseminate voter education during the election and their use was economical, stated the Commission’s joint secretary Tulasi Bahadur Shrestha.

Similarly, the Chairperson of the Nepal Telecommunications Authority Purushottam Khanal has suggested the proper utilization of digital platform to reduce its misuse during elections.

Of the total 120,000 election materials monitored during the poll, the election code of conduct was violated in 543, said Aadesh Khadka, chief of the information and technology section under the EC.
