Senior Deputy Election Commissioner of India Sandeep Saxena has directed all the District Electoral Officers (DEOs) and Assistant Returning Officers (AROs) of Haryana to complete all necessary formalities to ensure that the counting process is done in a smooth and transparent manner on October 24.
Through video conferencing, Saxena gave these necessary guidelines to the ROs and AROs for the counting of votes. He said the Election Commission was closely monitoring the entire process of counting of votes. Therefore, officers and employees should complete all online as well as manual formalities.
He said every counting centre should have a good internet facility so that they do not face any problem in counting ETPBS (electronically transmitted postal ballot system) paper. Apart from this, additional counting tables, computers, etc, should also be provided in sufficient quantity at each centre.
He said there should be no error while feeding the data of counting and after every round is calculated, the correct data should be fed.
