A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court challenging the Punjab State Election Commission's decision to conduct the 2026 Municipal Elections using ballot papers instead of EVMs. The petitioner argues that this move is regressive and contradicts Supreme Court guidelines on transparent elections. The court has sought a response from the Election Commission by tomorrow. The petition also highlights the lack of ballot boxes in several districts and past instances of booth capturing, demanding the use of EVM and VVPAT systems. https://www.rozanaspokesman.in/news/punjab/190526/public-interest-litigation-filed-in-hc-against-decision-to-conduct-ele.html #Creator program
