Tight security at QMC: votes counting on May 2

Queen Mary’s College is a fortress now. It is here that all votes polled in North Chennai Assembly constituencies in the April poll have bene stored since April 6 and will be counted on May 2.

.There are three tiers of security, from the periphery to the rooms where the EVMs are kept.

Media is barred just now. Only EC staff and agents of candidates get access and that too, to some areas only.

But since the High Court has sought clear plans from the Election Commission on counting day to prevent any violation of pandemic time rules, there could be some infrastructure changes made in the counting halls.

Mylapore constituency votes count will happen at Anna Univ. campus, Guindy.
