THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition Leader Ramesh Chennithala on Friday alleged that there were widespread malpractices in the process of casting postal votes by electors in the essential service category and government officials. The Election Commission has failed to take action against the malpractices despite it was intimated, he said.
“Around 3.5 lakh voters cast vote at the special postal voting centres opened across the state. Now a good number of these officials were delivered postal ballots at their residence or officials address to exercise their franchise. This would create twin votes for the officials and duplication of votes. This should not have happened”
