The Election Commission of India (ECI) has has asked authorities to prepare a separate voters list for Corona-positive patients.

The decision was taken on Friday amid campaigning for the Bihar elections, expected to be held in October or November this year.
 
The idea is to prevent the transmission and spread of the virus, while allowing patients to exercise their right to vote.
 
As per the Commission's strategy, there would be separate queues for Covid patients at polling stations.
 
The ECI has also made it mandatory for polling officers, presiding officers and polling agents of different political parties to be equipped with proper safety gear.
 
In another development, the ECI is expected to raise the limit for expenses which can be incurred by individual candidates on the election campaign.
 
An ECI officer said that different political parties have urged that the expenditure limit be raised to Rs 2 lakh owing to the Coronavirus pandemic.
 
The earlier limit was set at Rs 26 lakh.
 
The officer said that ECI may consult the law ministry on the issue.
