Delhi assembly election
In the Delhi Assembly elections today, on February 5, voters are using their votes in 70 seats. Before the start of polling in the morning, Election Commission officials also organized a mock poll at the polling booth, during which the authorities have cast fake votes. Do you know what the mock poll is and when it is used.
What is a mock poll?
Now the question is what is the mock poll. Let us know that a mock poll is organized in every polling station before actual voting starts on the day of polling. During that time the officials of the bowling booths are present. The names of every candidate contesting elections in the mock poll and the front button of NOTA are pressed at least three times in a random manner. Each poll consists of at least fifty mock polls. This button is suppressed by the polling agent.
Please tell that during this time, if the agents are not available, then the polling officers press the button and do the mock poll. On the other hand, if the sound of beep does not come on pressing the button of EVM, then EVM is replaced. After the mock poll, at the respective polling station, a certificate of pole is prepared by the presiding officer in two copies and signs of polling agents present there. If a micro observer is appointed, his signature is also taken. Sector officer will take a copy of the mock poll certificate from every polling station. This entire process will be done under the supervision of the returning officer.
Why is a mock poll necessary?
The Central Election Commission takes many measures for a fair election. This includes putting an ink on the finger, mock poll before the election, using other technology. Explain that a mock poll is also done to check for EVMs, during this time the authorities know which EVMs are disturbed.
