NEW DELHI: The five state polls coming up next year, for which the Election Commission held the first preparatory meeting on Wednesday, may see polling booths increase by nearly 25,000 in UP, 11,000 in Punjab, 2,160 in Uttarakhand and 262 in Manipur, according to early estimates. The rise is on account of EC’s move to cut voters per polling station to around 1,200 from the usual 1,600 to maintain social distancing in view of the Covid pandemic.
EC sources clarified that the figures cited above are provisional, based on suggestions received by it during internal discussions. They are based on a formula that seeks to work out the number of polling stations with the 1,200-voters cap per polling station and the overall turnout at the last Lok Sabha and assembly poll in the state concerned.
