The facility will enable continuous monitoring of the checking exercise being conducted across the districts.<br><br>During the interaction, Mitra explained the functioning of the webcasting centre and briefed the party representatives on the role of engineers and officials from Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), the authorised agency involved in the technical checking of the machines. She said the Election Commission of India&#8217;s prescribed instructions were being followed in every district to ensure that the exercise was conducted systematically and transparently.<br><br>The FLC is a mandatory pre-election procedure intended to establish the operational fitness of EVMs and VVPATs. Under the Election Commission&#8217;s guidelines, authorised BEL engineers conduct the technical checks under the supervision of the respective District Election Officers. Only machines that successfully clear the process will be considered for use in the Assembly elections.<br><br><br>The entire exercise is being webcast live from all 23 district-level locations. Dedicated monitoring arrangements have also been put in place at the CEO&#8217;s office, allowing the process to be viewed centrally. The Election Commission has appointed observers to oversee compliance with its procedures. Political party representatives have been encouraged to witness the checking process in their respective districts as well.<br><br><br>Additional Chief Electoral Officer Amandeep Bansal, Joint Chief Electoral Officers Navneet Kaur Bal and Sanjeev Sharma attended the briefing. Political parties were represented by Ferry Soft of the Aam Aadmi Party, N.K. Verma of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Arshdeep Singh Kler of the Shiromani Akali Dal, Hardeep Singh Kingra of the Congress and Sunil Kumar of the CPI(M).<br><br>The early commencement of the exercise reflects the Election Commission&#8217;s focus on election preparedness well ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly polls. With district-level supervision, technical scrutiny by BEL engineers, live webcasting and participation by recognised political parties, the process is designed to ensure accountability and build public confidence in the use of voting machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chandigarh,\u00a0 Punjab has formally stepped up its preparations for the 2027 Assembly elections, with the First Level Checking (FLC) of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) units commencing at designated warehouses across the state on Thursday.
