Serial number font will be bigger in Bihar elections
Addressing the press conference in Patna, Kumar said that due to the current black and white pictures on EVM ballot papers, it becomes difficult for voters to identify candidates even if the election symbols are clear. They said,
When the ballot is inserted into EVMs, the picture on it is black and white. This makes it difficult to identify him, even if the election symbol remains. It was also suggested that the serial number should be large. Therefore, starting with Bihar elections, the font of the serial number will be large and the pictures of the candidates will be colorful. “
The Election Commission chief who came on a two -day tour of the state with Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sindhu and Vivek Joshi said that these changes will be first implemented in the upcoming assembly elections of Bihar. After this they will be implemented across the country.
More than 1200 voters will not be held at polling station
