‘Against Voters Above Age of 65 Using Postal Ballots’: TMC To EC

The EC had earlier said that citizens above 65 should use postal ballots in the upcoming Assembly elections.

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has written to the Election Commission of India (ECI) against its decision to allow people above 65 years of age to cast their votes via postal ballot in the upcoming set of Assembly elections in October-November.

The ECI, on 4 July, had said that those about the age of 65 and under home and institutional quarantine could cast their votes via postal ballot.
