He asked officers to ensure that these areas are properly sanitized with adequate security measures and proper arrangements for verifying VVPAT paper slips as per the Commission’s instructions. CEO also asked for proper internet arrangements at polling stations.
Sibin C categorically directed officers to arrange for entering voter turnout data in ENCORE and to send timely reports to the CEO’s office through the website for collecting polling data in real-time.
