Additional ballot units arrive in Villupuram


VILLUPURAM: In view of the large number of candidates contesting the Villupuram (Reserve) and the Kallakurichi Parliamentary Constituencies, District Collector R.Palanisamy, who is also District Electoral Officer, has requisitioned additional ballot units.

There are 19 candidates in the fray for the Villupuram Lok Sabha seat and 29 for the Kallakurichi seat. However, each ballot unit can accommodate only 16 candidates, along with their names and symbols.

(An Electronic Voting Machine generally consists of a ballot unit and a control unit. However, depending upon the exigencies as many as four ballot units could be attached to a single control unit).

Therefore, it is necessitated to attach additional ballot unit to the control device. As such 2,000 additional ballot units were brought from Chennai on Friday and kept in safe custody in the Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation godown here.

The new consignment of ballot units was received by District Revenue Officer S.Viswanathan.

He told the reporters that technicians would check the new arrivals and keep them poll-ready.

Security had been provided at the TNCSC godown, he added
