District Election Officer-cum-Deputy Commissioner Captain Manoj Kumar has sent a proposal to the Election Commission to replace polling stations where the number of voters is more than 1,500 and the building of such polling booths is in a dilapidated condition.

As per available information, there is no proposal related to rationalisation in the Sadhaura and Jagadhri Assembly constituencies of the district.

However, there is one polling station (number 168) in Yamunanagar Assembly constituency, where the number of voters has reached 1,505.

The polling station is situated at Government Primary School, Camp of Yamunanagar.

Apart from this, there is a proposal to change the location of some polling stations due to their dilapidated condition and less space in the buildings in the Yamunanagar Assembly segment.

Besides, there is a proposal to shift the polling station number 127 from Mukand Lal National Senior Secondary School, Yamunanagar, to Mukund Lal National College, Yamunanagar.

The polling station numbers 139, 140, 141 are located at New Saraswati Senior Secondary School, but there is a proposal to shift these polling stations in the building of Shiv Shakti Shiv Devi Bhalla High School, Yamunanagar.

Captain Manoj Kumar said due to the lack of space at the polling station numbers 175, 176 and 177 in Jammu Colony, there was a proposal to shift these polling stations to the nearby buildings.
