The Election Commission (EC) is considering empowering presiding officers with additional authority and assigning them personal security officers at polling centers. To improve electoral logistics and integrity, the EC has also issued seven key recommendations. These include: Ensuring proper transportation for presiding officers and their teams along with election materials. Assigning one bodyguard per presiding officer. Hiring one office assistant per center. Coordinated deployment of all materials and staff. Ensuring meals for polling officials. Empowering presiding officers under Article 89(K) of the 1972 order. Enabling real-time coordination via mobile apps with returning officers and EC control rooms.
