"It is a pan-India exercise. FLC will take place across the country in a phased manner, including all constituencies of Kerala," a Election Commission functionary said.
In the run up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and five assembly polls due before the end of this year, the Election Commission has initiated "first level checks" of EVMs and papertrail machines across the country in a phased manner, sources said on Thursday.
"Mock polls" are part of the first level check (FLC) process, they said.
"It is a pan-India exercise. FLC will take place across the country in a phased manner, including all constituencies of Kerala," a Election Commission functionary said.
He was responding to a question on a mock poll taking place in Kerala's Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, which fell vacant following the disqualification of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after he was convicted in a criminal defamation case in March by a sessions court in Surat.
