Chandigarh: Before going to the polling booth on the polling day on June 1, the voters of Punjab will know how many people are standing in the queue to vote at their booth.
The Chief Electoral Officer of Punjab, Sibin C, has launched the ‘Voter Queue Information System’ on Saturday keeping in mind the convenience of the voters. This system has been developed in collaboration with NIC Punjab and META.
Giving information in this regard, Sibin C said that to use the Voter Queue Information System, voters have to send a message by typing ‘vote’ on a WhatsApp number 7447447217. After this a link will be received after clicking on which 2 options; (1) Location Wise (2) Booth Wise will appear on the screen.
He said that after selecting the location wise option, the voter will have to share his/her location, after which a list of polling booths near the voter’s house will appear on the mobile screen. After this, the voter will have to write the booth number and immediately the information will appear on the mobile screen that how many voters are standing in the queue to vote at that booth.
Sibin C further said that if the voter selects the second option booth wise, then after selecting the state of Punjab, he has to select his district and all the assembly constituencies of that district will appear on the screen. After selecting his assembly constituency, the respective booth number has to be filled, with which the voter will be able to know the number of voters standing to vote at his booth.
