To improve voter convenience, new measures have been introduced. Voter slips now clearly display serial and part numbers, making it easier to locate polling booths. On polling day, mobile deposit facilities will be available at booths for security purposes.
The Election Commission has also launched ECI Net, a unified platform combining over 40 services, allowing voters to check details, update records, and access assistance easily.
Meanwhile, 24/7 surveillance teams are actively monitoring and preventing the movement of illegal cash, liquor, and other prohibited items across the state.
