Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Pandurang K Pole on Saturday said that all the preparations for the elections have been completed and that he was expecting large participation of youth and others in the democratic process.
“Elections belong to everyone, be it tribals or urbans, youth or women, elderly or first time voters. It is a festival of democracy. All arrangements are in place and election teams are on way to their polling booths,” he said.
