Aizawl: The Election Commission is fully prepared for the upcoming polls to the 40-member Mizoram Assembly scheduled for November 25, Chief Election Commissioner V S Sampath said here today.
100 per cent updated photo electoral rolls and 100 per cent Electors Photo Identity Card (EPIC) by the state election department was highly commendable, Sampath told reporters.
He said 94 out of the 1,126 polling stations are critical and special measures have been taken to keep a watch on them.
“Security has been tightened and beefed up in these critical areas and along the border areas with Myanmar, Bangladesh and neighbouring states of Assam, Manipur and Tripura,” he said, adding quick response teams and flying squads would be deployed with executive magistrates in these areas.
