Srinagar, Sep 17: Jammu and Kashmir’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), P.K. Pole, on Tuesday appealed to the public to actively participate in the first phase of the assembly elections scheduled for September 18.
The elections will cover four constituencies in the first phase, including Doda, Ramban, Anantnag, Pulwama, Shopian, and Pahalgham.
In his message, Pole emphasized the importance of voter turnout across 24 assembly constituencies in seven districts. “I request all voters to cast their vote tomorrow, September 18, at the designated polling stations in your villages and neighbourhoods,” Pole said. Polling will take place from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
To ensure smooth voting, special provisions have been made. “Adequate facilities have been provided at each polling station, and separate queues have been arranged for senior citizens,” added Pole. Voters have been provided with voter information slips at their homes. However, if any voter has not received the slip, they are still encouraged to head to their polling station with a valid identity card.
Pole outlined acceptable forms of ID for voters, including Aadhaar cards, bank passbooks with photographs, post office passbooks, or MGNREGA work cards.
