Chandigarh gears up to facilitate a seamless and inclusive voting process for all citizens



Chandigarh: As the General Election to Lok Sabha 2024 approaches, Chandigarh gears up to facilitate a seamless and inclusive voting process for all citizens. Scheduled for June 1, 2024, Chandigarh is prepared with 614 Polling Stations strategically set up across the city to enable smooth casting of votes. Each Polling Station is equipped with essential facilities, including drinking water, ramps for accessibility, toilets, shaded areas, wheelchairs, and voter assistance booths. Among these, 55 Model Polling Stations have been designated to offer premium amenities such as red carpet entry and waiting halls. In a bid to foster inclusivity, special attention has been given to ensuring representation from various segments of society. Five polling stations each will be fully managed by women, persons with disabilities (PWD), and youth. Additionally, five theme-based polling stations reflecting popular Chandigarh themes will be set up, adding a unique touch to the voting experience. To facilitate voter engagement and assistance, all voters are encouraged to verify their details through the Voter Helpline App, the voter portal Voters.eci.gov.in, or by dialing the toll-free voter helpline number 1950. For those seeking to register in the electoral roll, forms can be submitted online through the Voter Helpline App, Voters.eci.gov.in, or at the nearest BLO or A.E.R.O office. The deadline for submission of Form-6 for new voter enrolment is May 4, 2024. For any election-related queries or assistance, citizens are urged to dial the toll-free voter helpline number 1950.
