What is Form 17C?
In simple language, Form 17C is very important for any election, especially for opposition parties.

This includes serial number of EVM at the polling station, number of voters at the polling station, number of voters in the register of voters under 17-A, number of voters who were not allowed to vote, number of votes recorded in the voting machine, ballot papers. Number, signature of the polling agents, and signature of the election officer. Apart from this, there is also the next part of Form 17C, in which information about how many votes a candidate got is also filled. The election officer has to provide this information to the polling agents after the end of voting.
What is Form 6?
Form 6 is issued by the Election Commission for those voters who become voters for the first time. At the same time, voters moving from one constituency to another can also apply under Form 6 for inclusion of name in the voter list. This form can be downloaded from the Election Commission website.
