The first phase of the day-long training for 28,235 officials, who are mostly teachers, on election related works was organised by the district administrations in Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Ranipet and Tirupattur at government schools and community centres on Sunday.
With the Model Code of Conduct in force, the district administrations led by district election officers have been reviewing poll preparedness since the announcement of Lok Sabha election.
Sunday’s training to teachers is also a continuation of the poll related exercises by the district administrations. These teachers would be mainly deployed as polling booth officials on voting day (April 19) across each district.
