EVMs to be used for 1st time in Leh council polls

Political campaigning and rallies have been ended ahead of the Leh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) election scheduled to take place on October 22 in which people of the region are going to vote through Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) for the first time.

The local administration has sought help from the Indian Air Force (IAF) to transport polling parties and their material to places where road connectivity is poor.

This time around, the administration has also made a special arrangement for the senior citizen and physically challenged voters.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress, and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are the major political parties in the fray in the Leh council election.
