On behalf of Nepalese Association in Southeast America (NASeA) we express our heartfelt condolence for loss of precious lives due to recent flood in several Terai districts of Nepal. Thousands of people and their livelihoods have been effected by this flood. Once again, our beloved motherland Nepal faces a crisis of Natural disaster and we all need to extend our support. To overcome this situation, NASeA had immediately pledged  $499.00 (Four Hundred Ninety-nine dollars) and generously requested all to be part of this fundraising effort. At this moment, here in USA our hearts and prayer go out to all the victims of flood affected area due to hurricane Harvey in Texas and Louisiana. Let us all be the part of this humanitarian task.  
 
It is my great pleasure to share with you all that during NASeA 29th Executive Committee meeting which was also the last official meeting of the NASeA Executive Committee 2015-2017 held on Sunday, August 27, 2017 unanimously decided to dispatch the fund collected so far to Help Nepal Flood Victims for the immediate Relief work by our two reputed partner organisations Sangsangai (Natsha Wozniak) and Madheshi Association in America’s (MAA). They both have effective ground network in the flood affected area in Terai districts  of Nepal.

Please find the attached wire transfer documents.

Further clarification of code of conduct #13 by election commission

Date: August 30, 2017
Subj:Further clarification of code of conduct #13 by election commission
Upon review of the code of conduct, election commission was brought to the attention that current cde of conduct listed below might pose some confusion and conflict. Election commission is publishing the new revised code of conduct to replace the old one with immediate effect.
Old code of conduct rule #13
13. If more than allocated number of persons are marked then for that position entire ballot will be invalid, but it will not affect the other positions. Example: If some one votes for both Presidents but correctly votes for other positions only the votes for President will be invalid and others will be counted. Example 2: If someone checks marks for 16 or more person in the board ballot then entire ballot will be invalid. However if instead of 15 , someone decides to select only 8 then all eight will be counted.
New rule #13 is as follows.
13.
Officer Ballot: In the case of Officers ballot only the position in question will be invalid and votes will not be counted for that position only but all other valid position will be counted.  Example: If some one votes for both Presidents but correctly votes for other positions only the votes for President will be not be counted and all others will be counted.
Board Ballot: If more than allocated number of persons are marked then entire ballot will be invalid. Example: If someone checks 16 or more candidates in the board ballot then entire ballot will be invalid. However if instead of 15 , someone decides to select only 8 then all eight will be counted for appropriate candidates
Sincerely,
Election Commission
