Training for the polling personnel to be involved in the 55 wards of Tirunelveli Corporation for the urban local body election to be held on February 19 was held here on Monday.
Chairing the training session, Corporation Commissioner B. Vishnu Chandran said over 2,000 polling personnel would be deployed in the 490 polling booths in 55 wards of the Corporation on February 19. The Presiding Officer and the Polling Officers should reach the polling stations concerned at 12 noon of the previous day (February 18). The polling personnel, while receiving the polling materials including the Electronic Voting Machines, at the polling booth should carefully check the materials they receive with the checklist.
The Presiding Officer of every booth should understand the polling procedure and take the lead in ensuring hassle-free polling. Since polling would commence at 7 a.m. sharp, the Presiding Officer should take every effort to start ‘mock polling’ in the presence of the agents of the candidates well in advance and clear the votes polled during mock polling.
