Delhi Elections : Three-layered security on counting day in Delhi
A three-tier security system and nearly 2,000 police personnel will be in place in the national capital to avoid any untoward incident on counting day May 16.
A three-layered security cover is thrown around seven counting centres in the national capital where 100 police personnel at each site have been positioned in addition to Quick Reaction Teams.
According to the office of the Delhi chief electoral officer, 5,000 officials will be involved in the entire counting process in eight counting centres on the day. Except for the East Delhi constituency which will have two counting centres, the rest of the six constituencies will have one counting centre each.
“The counting process will begin at 8 a.m. with the counting of the postal ballots first,” the official said.
According to the officials, the number of electronic voting machines (EVMs) used for the May 7 poll process here were 12,132 control units and 19,578 balloting units in 11,348 polling booths. Around 53 percent of the 11.09 million electorate in Delhi came out to vote this time. The polling process took place across seven constituencies.
