Kanpur: To ensure transparency during polling at Ghatampur on November 3, live webcasting will be done at 48 very sensitive polling booths of the constituency. The procedure will help monitor polling and any electoral violation, including bogus voting can be swiftly reported to returning officers or observers.
The webcast facility will be checked for glitches at every booth two days prior polling.
Also, pink and model booths will be set up to encourage women to vote and raise polling percentage, said district magistrate and district election officer Alok Tiwari.
“Of 481 booths, 84 booths have been declared critical and webcasting would be done at 48 booths,” he said.
“Pink polling booths are managed entirely by women, where special arrangements are done to enable mothers accompanied by children and pregnant women to vote. Model booths will also be set up with facilities of shade, chairs, first aid, potable water and ramps for physically challenged,” said tehsildar Vineet Kumar.
