Did you face any problems while managing the election?
Of course, during elections a few problems do turn up. What is special is that during this time’s election, no such big problem turned up. This time there was no such situation occurred that would cause a problem during the day of election. Sometimes, at some booths, the voting machines can malfunction due to which re-voting has to be done. But, this time, no such problem arose. A few parties have given complaint regarding the EVM’s. But, they have no complaints against the election process.
Yet, is this election a challenge in one way?
Since there were a lot of people this time, it was challenging to post the officers effectively. There was also the question of familiarizing the people with VVPAT. We have mostly created an environment within the booth where the voter need not ask on what that is.
How was the response of the political parties in the district?
As soon as the elections were announced, all the political parties in the district have properly responded to all the programmes and plans of the district administration. Due to this it was possible to freely conduct the special campaign programme. If it was another district, the parties will say that they are with the district administration but they do not take part in it. But, in Dakshina Kannada district, all the parties took party on the call of the district administration.
