In Jaipur, the city is abuzz with news of a repolling that is underway in the Barmer Lok Sabha seat in Rajasthan. This comes after a breach of confidentiality was reported during the initial polling on April 26th, prompting the Election Commission to take action. According to officials, the repolling is being conducted at booth number 50 in the Government Higher Secondary School in Dudhwa Khurd, under the Chohtan Assembly constituency.
The Chief Electoral Officer, Praveen Gupta, has assured that the repolling will take place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. today, in accordance with the instructions from the Election Commission. The decision for repolling was made after a complaint was received regarding a breach of secrecy during the previous voting at this particular booth. The Rajasthan Election Department then forwarded a proposal to the Election Commission of India, which was promptly accepted and acted upon.
Gupta also revealed that four members of the polling team responsible for conducting the previous voting at this booth were suspended by the District Collector, and appropriate action was taken against the webcasting vendor. He further mentioned that the code of conduct will be strictly followed in the relevant areas, and Section 144 has been enforced at the booth. Additionally, all working and labor voters registered at this booth have been granted paid leave for the day.
The Chief Electoral Officer announced that a public holiday has been declared at the Government Higher Secondary School in Dudhwa Khurd, where the repolling is taking place. He also stated that a dry day has been declared in the areas under this polling station until the end of the voting process. To ensure transparency, webcasting of the polling booth will also be conducted. All these measures have been put in place to ensure a fair and unbiased voting process.
