On Saturday allotment of symbols will be made to the candidates as per standard procedure and election code and conduct. It is the first time that Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) are going to be used in these elections in 57 cantonments out of the total 62 in India. Use of EVMs would make counting of votes faster and also reduce manpower required for polls, besides reducing the possibility of malpractice. North Zone police made elaborate arrangements as precautionary measure to ensure peaceful withdrawal of nominations.
