The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Thursday debunked a false WhatsApp message that claimed the government employees cannot cast their vote through postal ballot. The poll body notified that the voting facility through postal ballot would be made available for polling personnel engaged in election duty. "Reality: Message is misleading & fake. Eligible Officials on election duty can cast their vote through postal ballot at designated Voter Facilitation Centre,” ECI said in a post on X.
