The Election Commission of India (ECI) held a meeting with the State CEO at Delhi yesterday regarding the State's preparation for the State Assembly election.
It was during this meeting that it was decided to use VVPAT machines in 19 Assembly segments, informed a source.
In view of the indefinite economic blockade, the VVPAT machines would be brought by air from Bengaluru.
The meeting further decided to introduce e-postal ballot papers in 10 Assembly segments.
Meanwhile, the office of the CEO has started due preparations for distribution of Photo Elector Identity cards to young voters who have been enrolled for the first time ahead of the Voters' Day (January 25) .
