Our country Nepal is conducting the parliament and provincial elections for the first time after the promulgation of new constitution. The second phase of elections is due for December 7 in the remaining 45 districts ,which is being conducted in the Tarai districts including the Capital Kathmandu. The country’s southern Tarai where we live is the best gearing for elections .Candidates can be seen visiting door-to-door canvassing for the votes. Party’s banners, flags and advertisements can be seen in every nook and corners of the Tarai. Political parties are organizing election rallies and corner assemblies across the Tarai region. With the election date less than a week away, Madhes is decked up as if it getting ready for some sort of festival. Within this election we have decided to organize a meet-up on the day of election in 7th December 2017.I hope, we will able take photos of the voters, Candidates, security forces, Volunteers, Observers and reporters within the spot of election. It will be a new experiment and a better chance for us to show our local guides worldwide about Nepalese election.

Today's elections will elect 128 member of parliament and 256 members of the provincial assemblies. Apart from these directly elected people's representatives, 110 members of parliament and 220 members of the provincial assemblies will be elected under the Proportional Representation category.
