The Election Commission of India has recently allowed media persons covering election activities to cast their vote through postal ballots in the upcoming general elections.
Mail-in ballots, also referred to as postal ballots, offer registered voters the option to vote by mail rather than visiting a polling station.
It is a convenient alternative for those who cannot vote in person due to reasons such as being away from their home district, having a disability, or fulfilling essential duties on election day.
So, who is eligible for postal ballots? What is the application process?
