Lok Sabha elections 2019: Chief Election Commissioner OP Rawat on Monday said that some of the political parties have expressed concern over going back to the ballot system of voting. 

“Some of the parties said going back to the ballot is bad as it would bring back booth capturing,” ANI quoted Rawat as saying.
