The Congress’ central election authority has directed the office-bearers to cast their vote in the party’s presidential polls either at their home state or at the party headquarters in Delhi, and not in their assigned state.

“In order to remain impartial and maintain transparency in the election process, Central Election Authority has decided that no AICC general secretaries/state in-charges, secretaries and jt. secretaries would be allowed to cast their vote at their assigned state,” central election authority chairman Madhusudan Mistry said.
