Patna, October 5 (IANS) Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanash Kumar on Sunday, made a series of major announcements about the upcoming Bihar assembly elections during a press conference in Patna after a two -day consecutive meetings with the top state officials.
Starting its address in Bhojpuri and Maithili, the CEC urged voters to treat elections like a festival.
Kumar said, “The way we celebrate Chhath with devotion and enthusiasm, we should celebrate this great festival of democracy. Ensure our participation, fulfill our responsibility, and vote,” said Kumar.
Highlighting the achievements of the special intensive amendment (SIR) of the voter list, he said that for the first time in India, the booth-level officers (BLOS) worked directly with the voters to purify the role.
He said, “The way Varisali gave the country a republic, Bloss of Bihar has now set a record in the head,” he commented that other states would take inspiration from the example of Bihar.
CEC Kumar announced that voters will now get their voter ID card within 15 days of the application, which will end the long -standing delay.
“All VVPAT will be counted in that constituency as a result of any mismatch between EVM and VVPAT during counting. The postal ballots should be completed before the last two rounds of EVM count, and maximum voters at the booth can be shared at 1,200 per booth.”
He said that Bihar will have a total of 90,000 polling booths, and there will be real -time webcasting to ensure transparency in all booths in Bihar.
He also said that candidates will have to deploy polling agents in booths, who will verify the mock poll votes and will check Form 17C Yoga before the polling starts.
CEC Kumar appreciated the role of Bloos in Sir Practice.
He said that he will now get enriched allowances and identity cards.
The CEC also revealed that this time training was organized for police officers instead of Bihar as part of strengthening security preparations.
With these measures, the Election Commission has indicated its intention to hold a fair, transparent and skilled election in Bihar, which is ready to watch a high-dot political competition later this year.
Since the issue of intruders and foreign nationals has been raised by top leaders of the country, CEC Kumar did not give a clear answer to his exact number after the final voter list publications.
