Bhubaneswar: State Election Commissioner (SEC) Aditya Prasad Padhi on Monday announced that there will be no COVID-related restrictions on campaigning for the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) elections in Odisha.
Padhi said the decision was taken in view of decreasing cases of COVID-19 in Odisha. However, if cases rise, the SEC would be left with no choice but impose restrictions again.
There will be more polling personnel on duty as each booth will have two EVMs — one for Councillor/Corporator and the other for Chairperson/Mayor, he said.
Elections to 106 ULBs (47 municipalities and 59 NACs) and three municipal corporations in Odisha will be held on March 24. The counting of votes and declaration of results will take place on March 26.
More than 27 lakh voters will exercise their franchise at 3,030 booths in 1,731 wards. There will be NOTA option for voters.
