Addressing the polling staff at Reasi, DEO asked them to strictly adhere to the Model Code of Conduct enforced with the announcement of polling date. He said that the ECI has zero tolerance when election is concerned and there is no room for excuse or negligence on the part of the Govt. employees in election duty.
Nodal Officer Man Power & Training-Manu Hansa told the polling personnel and officials about the opening and closing of ballot boxes, identification of valid votes, counting of votes based on priority votes, etc. He further informed them that the conduct of mock poll before the beginning of actual poll is a must to ascertain that the EVMs are working properly but one should not forget to press the clear button of the control unit before it is sealed and before the beginning of actual poll.
The district Level master trainers and the resource persons covered topics such as general introduction to Assembly election, duties of presiding and polling officers before the poll, on polling day and after poll and various do’s and don’ts regarding the EVM through power point presentation, they also explained about the NOTA and filling up of various forms during the polling day.
