In the letter, he termed the proposal to set up polling stations with 1300 and 1600 voters in panchayat and municipal areas, respectively, during the civic body polls as impractical.

More people arriving at booths would increase the workload of officials and thus lead to the formation of long queues outside polling booths, he explained.

In this circumstance, the number of voters in each polling station shall be limited to a maximum of 1,100 voters, regardless of rural or urban divide, Satheesan demanded.
