During each election, Presiding Officers are often overwhelmed with the multitude of formalities that need to be completed before, during, and after the polling process. The Presiding Officer is responsible for the Polling Station and has a significant amount of work to accomplish leading up to and on the polling day. They are under constant pressure until the election materials, including Ballot Boxes or EVMs, are submitted. It is crucial for the Presiding Officer to ensure that all formalities are carried out meticulously. To assist Presiding and Polling Officers in completing these tasks without any discrepancies, we have compiled some helpful tips and resources.
The first and foremost prerequisite for a Presiding Officer is to attend the training sessions seriously. Even if you have previous experience as a Presiding Officer in past elections, it is essential to approach the training sessions with seriousness and sincerity. Study the Presiding Officers Handbook provided during training carefully, take note of any doubts or confusions, and ensure that you enter the polling stations with a clear mind.Schedule of Loksabha Election 2024
