According to election protocols, candidates are strictly prohibited from holding rallies or public gatherings after this deadline, allowing only for door-to-door personal appeals to voters.
Logistics and Polling Party Deployment
Preparations are in full swing to ensure a seamless voting process. On September 8, polling parties will be dispatched from the Bhavani Niketan complex located on Sikar Road. The deployment will occur in two distinct phases to ensure effective control over all polling booths. Under the supervision of District Election Officer Sandesh Nayak, the commissioning of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) has already been completed to prevent any technical glitches during the polling process.
Strict Regulations and Public Holidays
To maintain the integrity of the election, the local administration has declared a public holiday in the areas where voting will take place on September 9. Furthermore, a 'Dry Day' has been enforced from 6 PM today until 6 PM on September 9 in the affected municipal areas. This measure is intended to prevent any influence of intoxicants on the voting process and ensure a clean, fair election environment.
