Chief Election Commissioner Sushil Chandra while briefing the media on the 2022 UP Assembly elections has said that all parties want the polls to be held.
“Representatives of all political parties met us and told us that elections should be conducted on time following all Covid-19 protocols.
“VVPATs to be installed at all voting booths. Live webcasting facilities will be available at around 1 lakh voting booths to ensure transparency in election process, Chandra was quoted by ANI as saying.
“61% voter turnout was recorded in 2017 UP assembly elections. In 2019 Lok Sabha elections, voter turnout in UP was 59%. It a matter of worry why voting percentage is less in the state where there is high political awareness among people.
“Voting during Assembly elections will be held from 8 am to 6 pm on the date of polling.”
