Demonstration

Voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) will be used with EVMs in all Assembly constituencies in the district for the upcoming elections.

A demonstration of the Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) was held at the Deputy Commissioner's office here on Tuesday.

The DC said that there will be a ballot unit, a control unit and a VVPAT unit in every polling station. With the VVPATs, the voters will know for whom they had voted. They can see the paper trail in the VVPAT unit which will last for seven seconds.

During the counting of votes, the paper trails of one polling station will be randomly selected for checking. The demonstration on the functioning of the VVPATs will be held in all polling stations so that people come to know about its functioning and they can clarify their doubts, he said. Leaders from all the political parties have checked the functioning of the EVMs and VVPATs.

No permission

The District Electoral Officer said that there is no need to obtain permission for private functions held in private premises following the model code of conduct in force for the Assembly elections.

Similarly, for functions that are apolitical in nature, the organisers need not take permission.

However, the organisers of any private functions that are organised in public places should obtain prior permission even if it is for using public addressing system.
