Training activities are set to begin soon for election officials in the State as part of preparing the ground for the smooth conduct of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
A decision has been finalised to create a pool of State-level and district-level master trainers as part of equipping election officials with the requisite know-how on a range of poll-related topics.
An updated Election Planner issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI) requires training activities to be carried out well in advance. On the basis of a direction issued by the ECI to Chief Electoral Officers (CEO) of States, 26 government officials have been nominated as State-level master trainers on topics listed under five separate ‘themes.’ These State-level master trainers will be trained by ECI at the India International Institute of Democracy and Election Management (IIIDEM), New Delhi, a senior election official said.
