New Delhi. The Election Commission has come into action after the voting percentage decreased in the first two phases of Lok Sabha elections 2024. Compared to the Lok Sabha elections 2019, a decrease of more than 5 percent has been seen in one-third of the seats in the first two phases of the Lok Sabha elections this time. In view of the decline in voting percentage, the Election Commission has now decided to encourage people to vote as much as possible. Delhi Election Commission has also started various measures to bring voters to the polling stations. Let us tell you that voting is to be held on May 25 in the sixth phase on all seven Lok Sabha seats of Delhi.
According to Delhi Election Commission, the voters of the capital can get the facility of free bike to reach and go to the polling place on 25th May.

Unique initiative of Election Commission on the day of voting
Let us tell you that in view of the scorching heat in Delhi, the Election Commission is talking about arrangements for cooling along with cold drinks at the polling stations. It is believed that along with the vehicles from home, arrangements for coolers can also be made at the polling places to protect the voters from the sun.
According to Delhi Election Commission, keeping in mind the convenience of the people, Rapido Group has voluntarily proposed that it will bring people to the polling place for free on the day of voting. The Election Commission has said that we are considering whether it should be used if it is legally possible. Let us tell you that Rapido has more than 8000 bikes in Delhi. This is a good option, especially for bringing the disabled and senior citizens to the polling stations from home for free, but discussions are ongoing on this.

Besides, a meeting is also going on with cinema hall operators in Delhi.
