News Topical, Digital Desk : Following the instructions of the Election Commission of India, the number of polling stations in Uttar Pradesh is going to increase. In fact, Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Navdeep Rinwa said on Monday that there will not be more than 1200 voters at any polling station. This change will increase the number of polling stations by about 12% in the entire state and in some districts this figure may be even higher.
