CCTV cameras within the strong room at St. Joseph School, where voting machines were stored, suffered damage from lightning in Alappuzha district on April 30. The district collector promptly contacted candidates to notify them of the CCTV destruction.
UDF candidate KC Venugopal’s chief election agent, M. Liju, who also serves as the returning officer, lodged a complaint with the District Collector concerning the security of the voting machines.
