By Our Staff Reporter

KOCHI, APRIL 25. For the first time in Kerala, a toll-free telephone facility has been put in place by the district administration for enquiries relating to the voters' list. Voters in the Kanayannur taluk can now make calls free of cost to get their doubts cleared on the list of voters for the taluk.

Callers can use the toll-free number 1600447322 for any enquiry regarding the voters' list in the taluk. The voters' list for the taluk covers the Assembly constituencies of Palluruthy, Tripunithura and Ernakulam.

Election postings

Meanwhile, postings for polling officials who have been called for duty during the forthcoming Lok Sabha election in the Ernakulam and Muvattupuzha constituencies were decided in random in the presence of Election Observers at the district collectorate on Sunday.

Random selection for polling duty is mandatory under an Election Commission directive and ensures that no person is favoured in the allocation of the polling duties.

The Election Observers for the Ernakulam constituency, Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy, M. Samuel and Aravind Sigh Deo, and the Muvattupuzha constituency, O. Nabakishore Singh, Birchand Ghosh Dastidar and Jyothi Sarkar, were present at the district collectorate on Sunday.

Mani, Hassan Kani and Jose Mani, who filed their nomination papers for contesting the Lok Sabha election from the Muvattupuzha constituency are valid will be taken at a hearing that will be held at the district collectorate on Monday.

The hearing is being held because of the objections raised by some of the candidates, said a communication from the district collectorate here.
