The Election Commission has implemented a ban on mobile phones and other electronic devices inside polling stations to ensure a smooth and secure voting process. Voters are required to deposit their phones, bags, and similar items in designated areas before entering the polling booths. This measure is part of a broader effort to maintain the integrity of the electoral process and prevent any potential disruptions or fraudulent activities during voting.

In addition, the Election Commission has expanded its security protocols, including increased monitoring and the provision of additional staff to assist voters with the deposit process. Public awareness campaigns are being conducted to inform voters about these regulations in advance of the elections, emphasizing the importance of compliance for the safety and confidentiality of the voting environment.
