Candidate pic on India vote machines |
The Election Commission of India has instructed Chief Electoral Officers (CEO) of all states and union territories to display the photographs of candidates on electronic voting machines or ballot papers along with their names and symbols for all elections held from May 1. In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Maharashtra unit chief — Sunil Tatkare lost the elections by a margin of 2100 votes, interestingly another `dummy` candidate Sunil Tatkare fielded by his rivals to confuse voters polled 9,500 votes. It`s a no brainer that if the dummy Sunil Tatkare had not been fielded then NCP`s Sunil Tatkare would have stood better chances of winning the polls.
