Election process in Kerala satisfactory: CEO

Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 27 (UNI) The Lok Sabha election process and voting in the state was completely satisfactory at all levels, with voting machines performing better than in previous years, Chief Electoral Officer Sanjay Kaul said on Saturday.
In 95 percent of the 25,231 polling booths, voting was completed by 6 PM, and by 8 PM in 99 percent of booths. Only in some booths in the Vadakara constituency did voting continue later.
This was due to a higher turnout after 5 PM, requiring officials to verify records and ensure accuracy, which naturally took more time. All voters who arrived at the booths by 6 PM were given tokens to vote, indicating the vigilance of the officials.
