Officers should be informed in advance about the machines, newly appointed for election duty should perform their duties diligently, voter should be informed about the polling station number. He directed that since there are more schools in urban areas, the voters cannot get confused and vote, so they should take information from the BLs and write the polling station number, information, on the ticket to remove the confusion of the voters.
The Collector also suggested that polling stations with 1500 votes should be set up in urban areas and new polling stations should be set up in rural areas if there are more than 1200 votes. Candidates of any party should visit the sensitive areas where there is baiting and repression to create awareness among the voters. Therefore, Collector Nitesh Patil said that security will be provided by deploying more police forces at such places.
