Through “Saksham App” the differently abled voters can request for wheel chair or other necessary assistive devices. To ensure that the elderly do not have to stand in queues, they are being given the facility to vote first.

Adequate arrangements have been made for shade and cold drinking water, medicines etc. in all the polling stations.
