The election authority of Telangana, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), has identified 9,900 sensitive polling stations among 35,356 booths across Telangana for the forthcoming elections to the Lok Sabha slated on May 13.
According to CEO Vikas Raj, the election authority is contemplating three options for the smooth conduct of voting in these sensitive polling stations – deployment of central forces, putting in place micro observers for continuous monitoring of the election or making arrangements for webcasting voting process throughout the day. “It could be one option or a combination of two or more options,” Mr. Vikas Raj said.
