Jubilee Hills bypoll: All arrangements in place with drones and three-tier security to guard polling booths

With the Jubilee Hills Assembly bypoll scheduled for Tuesday (November 11), the District Election Office has urged residents to verify their polling booth details in advance and carry a valid photo identity document on polling day. According to the Voter Guide issued for the 2025 elections, voters can check their booth location digitally or through helpline services provided by the Election Commission of India.

Voters can find their polling booth by using any of the Election Commission’s digital platforms. The voter helpline mobile application allows users to search booths by entering their EPIC number or name. The same information can be accessed through the official website under the ‘Know Your Polling Station’ section. For those unable to access mobile data on polling day, the document notes that voters may call the national helpline number 1950 and provide their EPIC number to receive their booth location details.

The Voter Guide also explains that a Photo Voter Slip, delivered in some households by poll officials or downloadable from the mobile application, serves only as an information slip and is not accepted as identity proof. To be allowed to vote, every voter must present either their Elector Photo Identity Card or one of the other officially approved identity documents.
