EVM Tampering Row In Bengal: Election Commission Warns Of Repolling Over Taped Symbols

Описание: During the second phase of voting in West Bengal, allegations of electoral malpractice have surfaced, prompting the state's Chief Electoral Officer to issue a warning. The controversy erupted after the Bharatiya Janata Party alleged that their election symbol on Electronic Voting Machines was covered with black or white tape to prevent voters from casting their ballots. These incidents were primarily reported from polling booths in the South 24 Parganas district, specifically in the Falta assembly constituency. In response to the complaints, the Election Commission declared a zero tolerance policy towards any form of tampering. Officials confirmed that repolling will be conducted in specific booths where evidence of taped symbols is found. Furthermore, if a large number of booths within a single assembly constituency report similar tampering, the entire seat will face a repoll. District magistrates are currently corroborating the reports. Meanwhile, opposition leaders have reached out to the Union Home Ministry, alleging voter intimidation and urging citizens to exercise their franchise without fear amidst the ongoing elections.
