BENGALURU: Fresh balloting will probably be held at a polling booth of Hebbal constituency on Monday following EVM malfunctioning on Saturday.
Fresh polling will probably be held between 7am and 6pm at the Kannada and Tamil Primary School in Lottegollahalli, off New BEL Road in Hebbal constituency. The determination used to be taken after an EVM failed on Saturday and despite a technical group's intervention, the problem used to be now not resolved. Many electorate had to go back without balloting.
According to election officers, the button number 9 of the ballot unit used to be accepting the vote on its own, the VVPAT used to be printing ballot slip for Serial No. 9 and the keep an eye on unit used to be recording the vote. “We by no means observed any pass balloting (i.e. you vote for one candidate and its registered for any individual else),” they said, including that it used to be a technical problem with the ballot unit, whilst there were no issues of the keep an eye on unit and VVPAT. The candidate with the serial No. 9 used to be an unbiased, T Jaykumar.
Malfunctioning EVMs hampered balloting in more than one polling stations somewhere else in Karnataka within the first six hours of polling, delaying the method by at least an hour in lots of cubicles. People needed to wait longer at many different places.
Serpentine queues were seen at polling stations in Dakshina Kannada district’s Uppinangady, Banahatti in Bagalkot, MM Doddi in Yadgir, Bhavaninagar in Hubballi, Indi in Vijayapura, Kampli in Ballari, and some cubicles in Hoskote (Bengaluru Rural) because of misguided EVMs.
In Bengaluru, various cubicles in 10 constituencies — Indiranagar in CV Raman Nagar constituency, Lottegollahalli in Hebbal phase, Hosakerehalli in Padmanabhanagar, and more than one cubicles in Chamarajpet, Sarvagnanagar, Mahadevpura, Shanthinagar, Vijayanagar, Shivajinagar, Bengaluru South, Yelahanka in Bengaluru — also reported the similar problem.
A booth in Mudigere (Chikkamagaluru) and the station from the place former high minister H D Deve Gowda used to be to solid his vote in Haradanahalli (Hassan) also had misguided EVMs.
There were 58,000 polling stations within the state, of which a few loads were not active on Saturday — RR Nagar polls were deferred, whilst the ones in Jayanagar were countermanded after a candidate’s dying. On average, the Election Commission estimates that about 2% EVMs deployed for any elections could fail, and as a precaution, it’s mandated that 25% further numbers are procured as buffer.
While those EVMs are able for deployment, there has been unavoidable extend given the logistics, an respectable instructed TOI.
The new M3 devices, probably the most complex EVMs being utilized in India, also reported technical system faults at a number of cubicles. At a booth at Mudalapalya ward in Govindaraja assembly, polling staff noticed that VVPAT used to be now not working all the way through the mock ballot process itself round 6.20am. While it used to be rectified, the keep an eye on unit confirmed technical system faults once balloting began at 7am. Voting used to be behind schedule for greater than an hour till it used to be replaced.
At PES College close to Hanumanthanagar in Basavanagudi constituency, electorate needed to wait for greater than an hour as the M2 EVM system wasn’t working. “Seven votes were processed between 7am and 8am, and then the system remained non-functional for over an hour,” said a polling staff.
“When I got here right here at 8am, I used to be instructed there used to be something fallacious with the system and so they had called the engineers. When I returned at 11am, the whole thing used to be going smoothly, and I used to be ready vote,” said R Radhakrishnan, 72, of CV Raman Nagar constituency.
