To ensure there is no room for poll-related malpractices, the Election Commission will take up webcasting of the Lok Sabha elections in all polling booths of Bengaluru Rural and Mysuru Parliamentary constituencies on April 26.
Manoj Kumar Meena, Chief Electoral Officer for Karnataka, said the webcasting is being done on the basis of an assessment made by the Returning Officers (ROs) and observers of the constituency in consultation with the police.
“Seven companies of Central paramilitary forces will be deployed in the 2,829 polling booths of Bengaluru Rural. Besides, webcasting will be taken up in 2,925 booths in Mysuru and 546 booths in Kodagu,” he said.
