With the announcement of the dates, the Model Code of Conduct has come into force across the country.

55 LAKHS EVMs

The total number of registered voters in the country is 97 crore. 10.5 lakh polling booths have been made. 1.5 crore officers and security personnel will be deployed for the elections. Besides, arrangements have been made for 55 lakh EVM machines and four vehicles. 

FIRST TIME VOTERS

As Mr. Kumar said, this time there are 1.8 crore voters who will vote for the first time. The number of male voters is 49.7 crore, and the number of female voters is 47.1 crore. There are 19.74 crore voters aged between 18 and 29 years old. The number of voters above 100 years of age is 2.18 lakh.

CRIMINAL BACKGROUND

CEC Mr. Kumar said in a press conference, “The political party will have to explain that if they have fielded a candidate with a criminal background, then why did they do so and why they did not find a candidate with a clean image. The candidate will also have to publish information about his criminal background in the newspapers.”

WAR AGAINST FAKE NEWS

Mr. Kumar said that there is complete freedom to criticise anyone, including the Election Commission, but there is no freedom to spread fake news and rumours. Officials of every state have been given the power to ask to remove posts containing objectionable statements. If someone is spreading a false narrative, we will fight it strongly. 

A series named ‘Lies vs. Reality’ will be started on the Election Commission’s website. Voters are also requested not to blindly follow whatever comes on social media. There is a lot of excitement in the market for lies.
