Shillong: Meghalaya election officials are ready for the upcoming Shillong Parliamentary by-election. Chief Electoral Officer B.D.R. Tiwari confirmed the state machinery is set to go on Tuesday. The poll follows the February death of sitting MP Ricky A.J. Syngkon. The process starts once the Election Commission of India releases the official schedule.
State staff finished a string of planning meetings to handle the vote. They checked logistics, staffing, and training requirements. "We had meetings with field officers and different aspects like logistics, manpower and training have been well assessed," Tiwari said. Candidates and political parties are already hitting the streets to hunt for votes.
