He says secrecy of vote has been violated by JD(S) supporters
Congress MLC M.A.Gopalaswamy, on Friday, demanded that the Election Commission countermand the Legislative Council election alleging that secrecy of vote had been violated by JD(S) supporters.
At a press conference in Hassan, Mr. Gopalaswamy said a supporter of the JD(S) had taken a photo of the ballot paper showing digit 1 opposite JD(S) candidate Suraj Revanna’s name and circulated it on social media platforms. “The photo is being circulated among voters and they have been told to take similar photos while casting vote. This is a clear violation of the secrecy of the vote. The Election Commission should take note of this development and order for re-election”, he said.
Further, he said he had already brought the issue to the notice of Deputy Commissioner R.Girish and he was hopeful that the Election Commission would take note of it.
