Extinction Event: Polling Centres At Offices Of Sdos, Collectors | Jaipur News
Jaipur: The state’s election department has decided to designate the offices of sub-divisional officers (SDOs) and district collectors as facilitation centres for employees/officials/mediapersons belonging to ‘essential services’ to cast their votes through postal ballots, said chief electoral officer (CEO) Praveen Gupta. The voting through postal ballots will be held much before the date of the election, November 25, in Rajasthan. The government departments will have to send the names of officials, who would be on duty on the polling day, to the election department much in advance. Similarly, the EC-authorised passes for mediapersons for election duty will be issued to them well in advance.

Election rules tweaked: Now those on poll duty to cast postal ballots at facilitation centres only
The Election Commission of India has changed election rules to prevent potential misuse of the postal ballot facility extended to voters on poll duty. Polling personnel in the five election-bound states will now have to cast their votes at designated facilitation centres instead of keeping the ballot papers with them for a long time. The aim is to minimize the potential for undue influence, threats, bribery, and other unethical means by candidates or political parties. The amendment to the Conduct of Election Rules will come into force on August 23.
