Chief Election Commissioner Sushil Chandra on Thursday said all political parties in Uttar Pradesh wanted the Assembly elections be held according to schedule while ensuring Covid protocol.
For this, special arrangements, including enhancing the number of polling booths and increasing the voting time by an hour will be made, he said.
On the three-day visit to Lucknow to review preparations for the elections slated to be held early next year, Chandra held a series of meetings with representatives of different political parties as well as state and district-level officials.
