Form 17C
Filing up Part II of Form 17C and furnishing copies to counting agents.
There are already Commission’s instructions, that Part-II of Form-17C should be separately typed out giving the names of candidates in column-2, and the result on individual tables for each round are to be entered against the names of candidates in this list. This is to be prepared in duplicate using carbon paper. The carbon copy will be used for taking multiple photocopies for supplying copy each to the counting agents at the respective table. Returning Officers should take care that the names of candidates entered this list is exactly as per the order in the ballot paper used on the BU. For a duplicate copy, a carbon copy may be used so that there is no discrepancy between the two copies. Original copy will go to RO’s table for round-wise tabulation.
