In the upcoming Lok sabha elections no poling both will have more than 1400 voters as all the polling both are going to be equipped with VVPAT. To ensure this arithmetic district administration is trying to balance the equation of voters per booth.

Election commission of India has started the preparations for upcoming Lok sabha elections and numerous drives are initiated to include more and more voters in voter list. After getting lot of complaints and rumors of EVM’s tampering or of EVM’s getting hacked, election commission has adopted stringent measures.

So now Election Commission will install VVPAT at polling booths so that voters can also be satisfied that their vote has been casted to the right candidate whom they want to vote as they will also receive a slip by the machine.

Currently District has many booths which have more than 1400 voters. During last drive commission had tried to balance the data but still many of the booths still have more than 1500 voters.

Districts has enough number of EVM’s as per requirement but VVPAT are yet to be brought which will also reach district before time. VVPAT will be installed as per the numbers of booths.
