The distribution of postal ballot papers to serving officials for the upcoming local body elections will begin on November 26, the State Election Commission said.
Eight categories of officials are eligible for postal tickets: officials on election duty in polling stations; all employees of the commission engaged in election-related work on election day; Election Wing Officers in District Election Offices and Panchayats, Municipalities and Corporations; staff in the offices of Returning Officers and Assistant Returning Officers; Election Observers, Sectoral Officers, Anti-Malitation Unit Officers; and police personnel on security details during the election.
They have to apply for postal tickets in Form 15 from the concerned Returning Officer. The State Election Commission has mandated District Election Officers, District Superintendents of Police, Returning Officers and Assistant Returning Officers to appoint election officers. Postal tickets will be issued to them upon request. Three ballot papers will be issued for three-tier panchayats and one each for municipalities and corporations.
