Images of a postal ballot lying open in East Burdwan have gone viral on social media. The ballot was found in the East Block No. 2 office, and it is unclear how it came to be unsealed.
The opposition has alleged that this is a sign of electoral fraud. They argue that if the ballot is not sealed, then there is no way to guarantee the secrecy of the vote.
The Election Commission has not yet commented on the matter. However, they have said that they are investigating the incident.
The images of the unsealed ballot have sparked outrage among voters in East Burdwan. They are demanding that the Election Commission take action to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
The incident has also raised questions about the security of postal ballots. Postal ballots are often used by voters who are unable to vote in person on election day. However, if the ballots are not properly sealed, then they could be tampered with.
The Election Commission needs to take steps to ensure that postal ballots are secure. This includes ensuring that the ballots are properly sealed and that they are delivered to the correct voters.
The incident in East Burdwan is a reminder that the integrity of the electoral process is essential. Voters need to be confident that their votes will be counted fairly and that their voices will be heard.
