Gujarat has put robust systems in place to prevent electoral fraud and violence, aiming to protect the sanctity of its democratic processes. The state follows strict protocols for voter identification and monitoring to prevent electoral malpractice. This includes the use of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) along with Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trails (VVPATs) to ensure transparency and reliability. The Gujarat Election Commission has also collaborated with law enforcement agencies to monitor any signs of tampering or illegal activity during elections.
In addition to technological safeguards, Gujarat has strengthened its security measures to maintain peace during elections. The state deploys a large number of police personnel and paramilitary forces to sensitive areas to prevent violence and intimidation. Awareness programs and campaigns educate the public about the importance of voting without fear or coercion. By focusing on prevention, Gujarat ensures free, fair, and peaceful elections, upholding the democratic values of the state.
