Chandigarh, May 14
The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday issued notice of motion to the Punjab State Election Commission for May 28 on a petition seeking the use of electronic voting machines during polling in the ensuing panchayat elections in Punjab.
In their petition against the State of Punjab and other respondents, Gurinder Singh and four others through counsel Hari Chand Arora also prayed that the counting of votes should be carried out at the block, and not village level to minimise security expenses and election disputes, besides expeditious counting without undue pressure exerted on the counting staff during over-night counting.
