In Haryana, during the General Elections to Lok Sabha 2019, the initiative to facilitate the Divyang voters for casting their vote received an overwhelming response as a large number of Divyang voters availed the facility such as wheelchair at the polling station and vehicles provided to them to exercise their franchise. The names of 1,04,534 Divyang voters were registered in the electoral rolls across the state.
Such voters were contacted at the district level so as to provide them the facilities of the vehicle to bring them to the polling booth and to drop them back at their houses. Apart from this, arrangement of wheelchair was made at the polling stations where more than 20 Divyang voters were registered. In this way, 2,631 wheelchairs were provided across the state to encourage the Divyang voters to cast their vote.
The Commission also made arrangement of ramps on the polling booths for the convenience of the Divyang voters. Apart from this, volunteers were also deployed to assist the Divyang voters so that they could easily cast their vote in the polling station. As many as 9,911 volunteers, who were below 18 years of age, especially school students of NCC and NSS were deployed across the state. After voting, arrangement was made to drop back the Divyang voters at their houses.
For the first time, Braille script language was written on ballot paper to facilitate 237 such voters in the state so that they could exercise their franchise by reading the names of the candidates of their choice without any help. Thus, concerted efforts made proved to be effective for the Divyang voters, who participated wholeheartedly in the Lok Sabha elections.
