An official from the Election Commission has announced the decision to implement a GPS location tracking system in all vehicles designated for polling purposes in West Bengal. According to the official, communication regarding this initiative has been dispatched to the poll workers.
The purpose of installing the GPS tracking system is to monitor the movement of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and other polling materials from the distribution/dispersion center and receipt center (DCRC) to the polling stations on the day prior to the elections. Additionally, it aims to ensure the integrity of the materials as they are transported to the strong room after the polling process.
