Two Temporary Polling Stations Designated in Kaski for Upcoming Election

Pokhara. Two temporary polling stations have been designated in Kaski for the election scheduled for Falgun 21. As per the directive of the Election Commission, these centers have been established for inmates, election-unassigned staff, and security personnel.

According to the Provincial Election Office, Kaski, temporary polling stations have been set up at the District Jail and the District Coordination Committee (DCC) Kaski. The center at the jail is for inmates to exercise their right to vote, while staff and security personnel will cast their votes from the center at the DCC, informed Office Chief Narayan Dhakal.

Kaski district has approximately 2,900 temporary voters, according to statistics. Dhakal informed that the list of temporary voters has already been approved. 'The attendance of inmates at the District Jail is expected to be 100 percent,' he said, 'but only a small turnout is anticipated at the center located at the DCC office.'

'This is because arrangements have been made for the staff and security personnel assigned to the election to vote from the polling station where they are deployed.' Staff assigned to the election have been given the facility to vote at their respective polling stations.

Voters casting their ballots from the temporary polling stations will only be allowed to vote for the Proportional Representation (PR) category of the House of Representatives. They will not have the facility to vote for direct election candidates.
