The Election Commission (EC) is set to deploy 35 companies of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) for the repoll at the Falta assembly constituency, scheduled for May 21. According to sources, eight personnel will be stationed at each polling booth to ensure security and smooth conduct of the voting process.
Security Measures and Quick Response Teams
In addition to the CAPF deployment, the EC has arranged 30 Quick Response Teams (QRTs) to enable immediate intervention in case of any disturbance or untoward incident. These teams will be strategically positioned to respond swiftly to any emerging situations, thereby maintaining law and order throughout the repoll.
Polling Stations and Electorate Details
The Falta assembly constituency comprises 285 polling stations, catering to a total of 2,36,444 electors. Each polling booth will be equipped with three webcams — two installed inside the booth and one outside — along with live webcasting facilities to ensure transparency and real-time monitoring of the proceedings.
Observer Deployment
To oversee the repoll process, three observers have been deployed in Falta. Their role includes monitoring the conduct of the election, addressing any complaints, and ensuring adherence to the guidelines set by the Election Commission.
The EC's comprehensive arrangements aim to facilitate a free, fair, and peaceful repoll in the constituency.
