District Election Officer Nishant Kumar Yadav has said that during the Lok Sabha elections 2024, special arrangements have been made at polling centres for the disabled and voters above 85 years of age.
“To ensure easy access of disabled and elderly voters, apart from facilities like ramps, wheelchairs, transport systems, medical kits etc., NCC and NSS volunteers will be deployed with them at the polling stations. The Commission has also created Saksham App to provide information related to elections for disabled voters,” he said.
