The Elections Department also added that polling agents are confined to a specific area in the polling station to observe the polling process and they are not allowed to assist voters at all.
“These are serious allegations,” ELD said and they have urged the voter to come forward to tell her part of the story.
“ELD is committed to ensuring voting security and secrecy, and has put in place rigorous controls at every step of the voting process to ensure this.”
