Mirzapur, 26 October (Hindustan Reporter). During voting, if any voter feels that the vote he cast did not go to his favorite candidate, then he can get it investigated. The Election Commission has made such arrangements in the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) itself that this doubt can be resolved there itself.
Assistant Election Officer Jaganarayan Maurya said that for this, VVPAT (Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail) can be challenged by depositing a fee of Rs 2 with the presiding officer. The presiding officer will print it out and assure you whether the person for whom you voted has got it or not. But it has to be kept in mind that if the claim turns out to be false then you may have to go to jail. The condition is that in case of wrong challenge, the money can be confiscated and an FIR can also be registered against the person concerned. Voting for Majhwan Assembly by-election will be held on November 13. This system has been implemented by the Election Commission to bring transparency in elections.
District Election Officer Priyanka Niranjan said that during the voting process, if a voter is challenged by any agent, then Rs 2 will be deposited from him. Also fill the prescribed format and give the receipt. Along with this, we will also warn the voter that if he is not a genuine voter, legal action will also be taken. The presiding officer will fill in the details on the prescribed format and then conduct a brief investigation after taking signatures or thumb impressions. If the voter is correct, he will vote like other voters. If the voter is wrong, write a letter in the name of the police station incharge and hand it over to the police and confiscate two rupees. If the complaint is found true, it will be returned to the challenger.
