‘Every booth must be voter-friendly’

DC Dr. K.V. Rajendra has said that the Officers must ensure that every Polling Booth is voter-friendly. The DC, who spoke to the Officers after video conference yesterday, said: “Every Polling Booth in the district should have basic amenities so that they are voter friendly. Drinking water, shade and separate toilets for men and women should be arranged at the Polling Stations. Utilising local resources, the Polling Stations must be made attractive to attract the voters.”

Continuous inspections must be carried out at the check-posts in district and taluk borders. As everybody will be observing the style of working of the personnel deputed at the check-posts, they should ensure error-free inspection, the DC said.

The emphasis should be on achieving maximum voting and the voters aged above 80-years and the specially-abled should not be deprived of voting, suggested Dr. Rajendra.
