Salem District Collector R. Brindha Devi inspected the distribution of booth slips to voters on Tuesday in preparation for the Lok Sabha elections.
The Collector visited Chinna Kollapatti, near Gorimedu, to observe the door-to-door distribution of booth slips.

To ensure smooth and hassle-free polling, the Election Commission of India started distributing booth slips on Monday. The booth slip distribution process will be completed before April 13.
In addition to the booth slip, every family was provided with a handbook to verify their information, ensure that their names are included in the voter list, and guide them on how to use the apps of the Election Commission.
The Collector emphasized the importance of verifying the information provided in the handbook and booth slip to avoid any issues on polling day. She also urged voters to use the Election Commission apps to get accurate information about polling booths and candidates.
Stating that these booth slips will be distributed only through the polling booth, the Collector said that political parties or private people should not distribute these booth slips.
