Former Congress chief minister Harish Rawat has posted a video on social media that shows one person ticking and signing several postal ballot papers.

“Sharing a short video for everyone’s information. It shows how one man at an Army Centre is ticking and signing several ballot papers. Will the Election Commission like to take cognizance of this?” Rawat said.

The party has not made any formal complaint to the Election Commission in this regard yet. The video shows one man in army uniform casting votes and doing fake signatures on several ballot papers. A voice can be heard saying: “Congress ko to bilkul mat dena…” They are prompting the man to sign differently and hurry up the process.

Leader of Opposition in the Uttarakhand Assembly Pritam Singh said: “In this video that makes a mockery of democracy, a man at an army centre is seen ticking and signing several postal ballot papers in favour of the party of his choice.”
