AAP writes to EC over voter redistribution plan in Delhi

NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday wrote a letter to the Election Commission of India (ECI) raising concerns regarding the Special Summary Revision of Photo Electoral Rolls in the national Capital.

AAP in the letter to ECI referred to a notice dated August 7, issued by the ECI stating that it is planning to redistribute the voters in excess of 1,500 per booth to the booths where the voters are less than 1,500, the letter said. AAP in the letter emphasised that the redistribution plan, which proposes shifting voters exceeding 1,500 at a booth to less populated booths, could pose logistical challenges. According to the party, it is nearly impossible for more than 650 people to vote at a single booth within the allotted 11-hour period on election day.
