Chennai: Even if you haven’t got voter slips or your voter ID card, you can vote as long as your name is on the electoral rolls. This was the promise of Tamil Nadu’s chief electoral officer Satyabrata Sahoo on election eve.
Polling is open for 12 hours from 7am on Tuesday, with the last hour reserved for Covid patients. But everyone will have to wear masks to the polling booths, where their temperature will be taken before they are given a glove to go in and press the button of their choice on the EVM. Given that more polling stations were added as auxiliary due to Covid-19, the voters could check their booths on the commission’s NVSP portal or helpline 1950 with STD code.
