Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer, Mokokchung, Shashank Pratap Singh IAS in his briefing said that the “luckier ones” will go for election duty as it is a matter of pride and prestige to be a Presiding Officer if no re-poll occurs in their designated polling station.

 

He also asked the officers to visit the facilitation centre at the DC office to clarify any doubts and ensure that no technical issues arise which might disrupt the poll proceedings.

 

General Election Observer, Prashant Kumar Panda IAS, while briefing the trainees during the program, reminded the presiding officers not to fill the poll sheets after the poll, but put down the chain of events simultaneously so that they will not miss out on critical events which can be very crucial for the smooth conduct of the poll.

 

General Election Observer, Kamla Kant Saroch IAS, in his briefing, said all the officers should diligently focus on their task to ensure re-poll does not occur due to some technical matters. In order to avoid such a situation, he said they should clear all their doubts before they leave for their designated polling stations from the master trainers/colleagues or visit the facilitation centre.

 

AEO Mokokchung, Renben Mozhui also briefed the officials on some of the technical aspects to be strictly followed during the polling process. Nodal Officer for Webcasting duty, Nyanthung, Asst. Professor FAC, Mokokchung instructed the officials on the various aspects of Webcasting on polling day and also on how to use the Booth App.
