Postal voting for prisoners has begun today. It will continue till February 7. The Election Commission (EC) announced this information at noon today, Tuesday (February 3). The Election Commission has provided postal voting facility to prisoners for the first time. On the instructions of the EC, prison authorities have also made preparations for this. Earlier, the Election Commission started sending postal ballots within the country from January 6.
\nThe EC said that the ballots should reach the returning officer by 4:30 pm on the polling day. If it reaches after this, the votes will not be counted.
