160 Centers for Vote Counting in Kerala

Lok Sabha Elections Polls in the state started from 10th of April 2014 and soon on 16th April the results of All over India LS polls will be out. Counting would be held in 160 centres across the state on 16 May, Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Kerala Nalini Netto told.

“Of the total 160 counting halls, 20 will be dedicated for counting of postal votes. A total of 56 counting observers and around 7,500 other staff will be involved in the process,” she said. The EVMs have been stored in 29 campuses across the state under a three-tier security cover, Netto said.

A total of 36 platoons of Central forces have been deployed for the security of EVMs and to ensure hassle-free conducting of counting, she said. To a question, Netto said there was no evidence that bogus voting had taken place during the polls.

She said all sensitive booths had special CCTV cameras and were being guarded by Central security force personnel. Netto also said those who had any complaints in this regard could approach the court.
