Punjab Chief Electoral Officer V K Singh and Addtional Director General of Police V K Bhawra today reviewed preparations in this border district for the Assembly polls, slated to be held next year.
They held a meeting here with representatives of political parties and inaugurated the voter awareness signature campaign.
He said at least 20 per cent polling stations will have cameras so that the Election Commission of India (ECI) can watch the polling through internet.
Singh said the ECI was determined to conduct free and fair election in the state and stressed the need to register people who have completed 18 years as voters.
He said the Punjab government would also organise voter awareness seminars at educational institutions and border areas.
The representatives of some political parties urged them to deploy paramilitary forces in sensitive and highly sensitive polling stations.
