The Collector said that the postal ballots from the district are ready to be sent. The ballots would be despatched immediately.
A final session of training for the election officers who have not yet attended the training classes so far and those who are interested in getting more practice will be held at the Maharaja's College Centenary Auditorium on Monday morning. The classes will start at 10 a.m.
The setting of the electronic voting machines (EVMs) for all the 14 constituencies will be held at 14 centres on Tuesday and Wednesday, said the Collector.

The machines will be taken out of the safe custody with full police protection and will be sent back after setting it, under police protection.
The Collector said that the overall law and order position in the district so far has been absolutely normal. All the statutory formalities for the election procedure have been completed. The anti-defacement squads are functioning very well in the district.
Absence in the training classes for the polling personnel and disobedience to the instructions of the authorities are minimal this year.
But, in two cases, two persons to whom notices were sent for appearing for training as polling personnel have been missing, said the Collector. Both of them are lecturers at the Bharat Mata College, Thrikkakara. Both of them have informed the College Management that they are out of Kerala at present. One of them has informed that he would be in Dehra Dun till May 2.
Arrest warrants against these two persons have been issued and the police were searching for them.
