EVM Commissioning Concluded in Kollam for Kerala Assembly Elections 2026

The procedure for preparing the ballot units in the upcoming elections is currently underway, overseen by returning officers at designated strongrooms across each constituency. This process involves the careful affixing of ballot labels, which display the names, photographs, and symbols of the candidates running for office.

This crucial step is part of the election preparation to ensure that voters can easily identify their chosen candidates on the ballot. Strongrooms are secure facilities where election materials are stored, ensuring integrity and safety until they are needed on election day. The involvement of returning officers, who are responsible for overseeing the electoral process in each area, is essential to maintain transparency and adherence to electoral regulations.

As election day approaches, additional measures are being implemented to verify the accuracy of the ballot units and to engage with the public on the voting process, ensuring a smooth and efficient election experience for all constituents.
