The November 30 Telangana Assembly elections will be refreshingly different, thanks to ‘thematic polling stations’ to be set up across the city this time round.
As mandated by the Election Commission of India, the city will have a certain number of polling stations exclusively managed by women, persons with disabilities (PWD) and the youth. This is to encourage voters belonging to those sections to turn up at the polling stations, said GHMC Commissioner and District Election Officer D.Ronald Rose.
“At the polling stations managed by women, all the staff, right from the booth level officer, will be female. There will also be certain facilities provided to the women voters there,” he said.
