Booth-level officials will carry out door-to-door campaigning pasting stickers on doors of homes informing them of April 26 being the voting day in booths that saw low voter turnout in the previous election.
Holding a videoconference with officials, District Election Officer Tushar Giri Nath directed officials to make all efforts to boost voter turnout in the city this time. He also instructed officials to distribute voters’ slips and guide in a speedy manner and deploy supervisors to oversee door-to-door awareness campaigns. The voter sticker has the polling date printed prominently and a pledge that says they will vote for sure.
Special Commissioner (Election Division) Selvamani said the second stage of training for polling booth officials will be held on Wednesday.
