It is now being reported that the State Election Commission has issued orders regarding voter lists to 'inspect potential duplicate voters'. Against this backdrop, the State Election Commission has instructed local self-government bodies to 'identify duplicate voter names and prevent duplicate voting'.

A special campaign will be conducted at each booth, with instructions to inquire about where voting will take place by going door-to-door. Booth-level officers will visit voters' homes and ensure that voters will vote at only one location, which will be documented by them.
