BHADERWAH: The process of postal ballot voting for trainee polling parties and associated civilian staff commenced today in Bhaderwah.

Facilitation centres have been set up in the Community Hall and the Returning Officer's (RO) office to ensure smooth voting for those engaged in election duties. These polling parties, who will be stationed at various polling booths during the upcoming J&K Assembly Elections 2024, are casting their votes in advance to fulfill their civic responsibility.

The postal ballot system is being extended to a wide range of individuals involved in election duties, including police personnel, drivers, conductors, cleaners of election vehicles, and videographers. The initiative ensures that all members of the election workforce, including non-government workers, can exercise their right to vote without disrupting their assigned duties on Election Day.

This process, a vital part of ensuring fair and inclusive elections, guarantees that those who facilitate the voting process are also provided the opportunity to vote.

The facilitation centres in Bhaderwah are equipped with the necessary infrastructure and support staff to guide voters and ensure efficient handling of the postal ballots.

The system is crucial to safeguarding the democratic rights of election personnel.
