State Election Commissioner Shri Basant Pratap Singh has asked the Collectors and District Election Officers to make at least five polling stations in the district as model polling stations. Model polling stations can be made in these polling stations by making necessary arrangements on the polling day.
Build the polling station on the ground floor of the building. Decorate the entrance with archway, rangoli, balloons and flowers etc. Arrange shady waiting rooms, chairs to sit/ clean carpet etc for voters. Make arrangements for drinking water, toilets and convenient access roads. Apart from making separate queues for men and women, senior citizens, elderly, sick and Divyang voters should be given priority in voting.
Make separate entrance and exit gates. Arrange for ramps and wheelchairs and first aid boxes. Establish a facilitation centre near the polling station and distribute 100 percent voter slips to each and every voter of the model polling station.
