Polls groundwork

The CA instructed the DCs to start groundwork for the next general election. I believe that the DCs and the civil administration have little scope to do any "groundwork" for the election. The voter registration process is almost complete, we are told. The EC is lecturing us every day on election. Their appearance on TV is very regular indeed. Common people, politicians and private citizens have no role at present. The CA is telling everyone that elections will be held by December. Repetition reduces importance of such an event!
