Kangpokpi, April 4,

Training for women polling personnel of Kangpokpi District was held today at the DC Office Complex, Kangpokpi. Altogether 15 polling personnel for three women polling stations attended the training session conducted by the District Election Officer/DC, Kangpokpi Lalithambigai K IAS, SDO Chunglienmang MCS, SDO Sorokhaibam Imoshana MCS and other Master trainers.
The training was conducted in a very interactive way through role-play by the polling personnel where they were allowed to perform the actual duties which they will be doing on the poll day.

Addressing the gathering, DC Lalithambigai stated that it is a matter of privilege that three polling stations will be manned by women polling personnel and women render their duties very efficiently and they are more careful than their male counterparts. She also highlighted the importance of VVPAT machines which will be used for the first time in the district. She further instructed them to contact their concerned sector officers and AROs in case of any discrepancy on the poll day.
Motivating the trainees, DC stated that she is fully confident about the women polling personnel and also told that in her previous election experiences, women had systematically completed all duties assigned to them.
She also reminded that voter slips are no longer stand-alone identification documents and should be compulsorily accompanied with one of the 12 documents prescribed by the Election Commission of India. The training programme will continue till all personnel are well trained.
Master trainer S. Imoshana also enlightened the trainees about the importance of EDC and clarified the queries and doubts raised by them.
It may be noted that three polling stations of Kangpokpi AC are identified as Model Polling Stations and will be manned by women polling personnel.
Besides, second round of training for the Presiding Officers and other polling personnel for three ACs- Saitu, Saikul and Kangpokpi were also held at different halls of the DC Complex. Besides, three facilitation counters for above three assembly constituencies were also opened at front of the DC office where designated staffs will issue and receive the EDC forms for the polling personnel.
