No queues, no hassle: Your home now a polling station in Jamshedpur

Jamshedpur: In a move aimed at facilitating the democratic process, the Election Commission has introduced the option of voting from home for individuals aged 85 and above, as well as those with a disability of at least 40%. Recognizing the challenges faced by these segments of voters, the Election Commission has taken this significant step to ensure their participation in the electoral process without any hassle.

For the 09-Jamshedpur Lok Sabha constituency, the Election Commission has set the deadline for the submission of reports related to home voting by BLO (Booth Level Officer) for both AVSC (voters aged 85 and above) and AVPD (voters with at least 40% disability). This initiative aims to empower these voters by enabling them to exercise their franchise conveniently and securely from the comfort of their homes.

Ananya Mittal, the District Election Officer, highlighted that the district administration has undertaken necessary preparations to facilitate home voting for these categories of voters. He urged eligible voters to submit their applications before the deadline and take advantage of the opportunity to vote from home.
