Balli-Adnem will be conducted on 20th March, 2021 and the polling will be from 8.00 hrs. to 17.00 hrs.

And whereas, Rule 34A of the The Goa Panchayat and Zilla Panchayat (Election Procedures) Rules,

1996 provides for an indelible ink mark to be put on the left forefinger of every voter before issue of ballot

paper at the Polling Station. This is aimed at preventing impersonation at the polling station.

And whereas, the Zilla Panchayat of North and South Goa Constituencies in the State of Goa was held

on 12th December, 2020 and similar indelible ink mark has been put on the left forefinger of every voter.

Hence there is a possibility that this mark may still be partially visible on the left forefinger of some of the

voters.

Now, therefore, in order to avoid confusion and to prevent impersonation by voters without causing

hardships to genuine voters and in exercise of the powers vested under Article 243K of the Constitution

of India and also under Section 237 of the The Goa Panchayat Raj Act, 1994 read with Rule 45 of the Goa

Panchayat and Zilla Panchayat (Election Procedure) Rules, 1996 it is hereby directed that the indelible

ink mark shall be put on Left middle finger of every voter at the polling station before issue of ballot

paper instead of left forefinger. If the voter has no left middle finger then the ink should be applied on

Ring finger on the Left hand.
