This time, the Election Commission has set up five separate booths in each of the five Assembly constituencies of Sirsa district, specifically for women, youth, and differently-abled individuals.
These booths will allow women to cast their votes and women staff will be seen in pink attire at these locations. Separate booths will be established for differently-abled individuals and youth booths have been created to attract young voters. These booths are designed to encourage 100 per cent voter turnout, aiming to maximise participation.
