EC to live monitor 50% of booths in Bengal during voting: Returning Officer
Polling parties collected EVMs and VVPAT machines from a government school in Haldia ahead of voting for the second phase of West Bengal assembly elections.
Returning Officer of Haldia, Avnit Punia said that 50% of the booths will be live monitored by the Election Commission.
"100% of the booths have been covered by CAPF and 50% of the booths have been covered by webcasting which will be monitored by ECI and us live during polling," said Punia.
"All the three ACs have been set up here-Mahisadal, Haldia, Nandigram having separate counters and we have increased counters per AC keeping in mind the COVID norms and especially mentioned by ECI, all the arrangements have been made at polling centre," he added.

Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise India's efficient and swift vote-counting process, contrasting it with the delays faced by California in finalising its election results. In his post, Musk highlighted how India, with its electronic voting machines (EVMs) and voter verifiable paper audit trails (VVPATs), was able to count a staggering 640 million votes in a single day during the recent elections. This stands in stark contrast to California, which has been struggling to count votes nearly 20 days after the election, largely due to complicated mail-in ballot procedures and decentralised local election systems. Musk emphasised the scalability and efficiency of India's centralised election oversight, led by the Election Commission, while criticising the slow and cumbersome system in California. His comments have sparked debate on the effectiveness of different electoral systems, with many praising India's handling of large-scale elections.

The Maharashtra Assembly elections once again spotlighted the oppositionās habit of blaming EVMs when results donāt favor them. In Solapur's Markadwadi village, NCP(SP) supporters, upset over BJPās Ram Satpute leading locally despite Uttamrao Jankarās overall win, planned an illegal ballot āre-election.ā Authorities rightly shut it down, calling it anti-democratic. Ironically, EVMsāintroduced by Congressāare now their scapegoat. Locals dismissed the rhetoric, crediting Satputeās development work, with one saying, āHe earned his votes, no tampering needed.ā
