Mobile Phone Deposit Facility for Voters at Jubilee Hills Polling Stations on Nov 11

Hyderabad:
Voters in the Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency heading to the polls on November 11 will be able to safely deposit their mobile phones before entering polling stations. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Election Wing is setting up secure mobile phone deposit centres outside all polling stations, in line with Election Commission of India (ECI) guidelines.
The facility aims to assist voters, particularly senior citizens and women, ensuring convenience and security on polling day.
A senior GHMC official deputed for the bypoll said that voters must switch off their mobile phones before entering the polling station and hand them over to volunteers stationed at the mobile phone deposit counters.
Voters will receive a token in exchange for their phone, which they can use to reclaim it after casting their vote and exiting the polling station.
The GHMC has assured that adequate staff and security measures will be in place to manage the process smoothly and prevent any inconvenience to the public.
The initiative is part of the civic body’s broader efforts to ensure a transparent, orderly, and voter-friendly polling experience in Jubilee Hills during the by-election.
