The voters should have their names enlisted in the voters' list and they should alongside produce any one of the 23 necessary identification documents to the officers present at the booths. Only in this case, the voters should be allowed to cast their votes, said the DC.
“The ones deputed on election duty have to be fearless and fair and become role models to others,” the DC said adding that to solve the problems of the election officers a helpline has been opened. The officers can call 1077 to lodge their complaints anytime on violation of Election Code.
“Since adequate number of security personnel and para-military forces have been deputed, we hope that no untoward incidents will occur,” he said.
While informing the Block officers to make all arrangements including drinking water and seating arrangements for the officers deputed on election duty, the DC said that if the officers require food on May 4 and 5, they will have to inform the Revenue Officers of the booth area in advance. The amount will be later deducted from the election duty pay of the said official.
He directed the officials deputed on duty to report on duty at 6.30 am on May 4th for the mustering work. MCC Commissioner Dr Harish was present.
