Period and effect of Election Commission control
The designated officers are treated as being on deputation to the Election Commission from the date of the notification calling for the election until the date on which the election result is declared. During that period, they are subject to the control, superintendence and discipline of the Election Commission.
The notification therefore establishes temporary administrative control for election-related policing. Its operation is tied to the specified 2009 bye-elections and the period from the election notification to the declaration of results.
