India’s election commission has intensified its efforts to maintain fair voting practices after controversies surrounding bypolls in Uttar Pradesh. A recent incident in the state highlighted concerns of potential voter impersonation involving women in burqas, sparking widespread discussions about the role of law enforcement during elections.
In response, the poll body has taken disciplinary action against several police personnel for failing to adhere to protocol at polling stations. These actions underscore the importance of ensuring transparency and fairness, particularly in constituencies where electoral disputes are common. Authorities have also instructed polling officers to exercise stricter verification measures without discrimination or bias.
This incident brings to light broader challenges faced during elections in India, where maintaining the delicate balance between voter privacy and procedural integrity is crucial. Activists and political leaders have urged better training for polling staff and law enforcement to avoid such issues in the future
