Seniors over 80 who wish to vote from home must complete Form 12D, which poll workers will hand out and gather. It is anticipated that this will be completed within five days of the poll notification being released.
According to a high-ranking election commission official, the ECI offered this as a choice. Seniors will receive assistance from volunteers if they choose to visit the polls and take part in the political process. Nearly 150 housing societies now have polling places near to the residential facilities after moving all of their booths to the ground floor.
