As many as 10,800 polling stations vulnerable, says CEO
Chief Electoral Officer Satyabrata Sahoo said on Monday that 537 polling booths in the State were critical and over 10,800 vulnerable. However, the figures would be revised if there was a need, and based on representations from parties, he said. Speaking to reporters, Mr. Sahoo said the respective district election officers and Superintendents of Police would take action in case there was any violation of the model code of conduct. “They will analyse video clips and decide whether sections of the IPC or Cr.PC have to be invoked. In case of violation, they will take it up with the Election Commission of India,” he added. Over 1.55 lakh ballot units, 1.14 lakh counting units and 1.2 lakh VVPATs have been kept ready for the Assembly poll, he said. After randomisation, the EVMs will go to the respective polling stations.More Related News
