Ahead of the Lok Sabha election, the BJP has requested the Election Commission (EC) to ensure that the voting process in all polling stations is video recorded, and polling booths are set up in high-rise housing societies to help urban voters exercise their franchise.
In a memorandum submitted to the poll body on Wednesday, the BJP also urged it to consider reforming the approval process for political parties’ media content to make it faster, arguing that this will allow them adequate time to plan their campaign.
