Ludhiana Bypoll: Polling Stations to Offer Phone Deposit
At the Ludhiana West by-election, voters can leave their phones at special counters before voting.
This is to help people, especially those who might need their phones.
They won't be able to use phones inside the voting area to keep the voting private.
After voting, they can get their phones back.
This new rule is to make voting easier while following the rules.
Mobile phone deposit facility introduced at Ludhiana West polling stations.
Voters can deposit phones at designated counters outside polling stations.
Facility aims to enhance voter experience and maintain voting secrecy.
Phones must be switched off within 100-meter periphery.
