The Kerala Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) on Monday suspended an Assistant Section Officer following a “clerical error” that saw a document with a BJP seal mistakenly distributed as an official Election Commission communication. In an X post, the office clarified that the error happened when a photocopy of the 2019 guidelines submitted by the BJP, bearing their seal, was inadvertently redistributed to other political parties, prompting immediate rectification by senior officials in the office.
