勒克瑙推出代幣系統以應對選舉期間的熱潮

在預計的熱浪中，勒克瑙市政公司 (LMC) 為選民提出了一種代幣系統，以緩解投票站排隊的情況。這些代幣將簡化等待時間，為等待區提供遮陽處、停車場和飲用水設施。這項舉措與印度選舉委員會 (ECI) 在賈坎德邦實施的一項舉措類似，旨在提高投票舒適度，特別是弱勢群體，並將於週五提交給 ECI。

Lucknow Municipal Corporation Proposes Token System for Voters Amidst Heatwave Forecast

勒克瑙市政公司在熱浪預報中為選民提出了代幣系統

Lucknow, India – In anticipation of sweltering temperatures during the peak summer months, the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) has unveiled a comprehensive plan to mitigate the discomfort of voters during the upcoming Lucknow polls, scheduled for May 20th.

印度勒克瑙—由於預計夏季高峰期將出現悶熱天氣，勒克瑙市政公司(LMC) 公佈了一項全面計劃，以減輕選民在定於5 月20 日舉行的勒克瑙投票期間的不適。

Spearheaded by Municipal Commissioner Inderjit Singh, the proposal for a token system will be presented before the Election Commission on Friday. This system, similar to one successfully implemented by the Election Commission of India (ECI) during the 2019 Lok Sabha polls in Jharkhand, aims to alleviate the inconvenience of standing in long queues under the scorching sun.

由市政專員 Inderjit Singh 領導的代幣系統提案將於週五提交給選舉委員會。這個系統類似於印度選舉委員會 (ECI) 在 2019 年賈坎德邦人民院投票期間成功實施的系統，旨在緩解烈日下排長隊的不便。

"With the scorching heat expected on the voting day, we want to make the voting process comfortable for people," stated Inderjit Singh. "We will provide tokens and seating arrangements, so people do not have to stand in queues in the sun. Also, we will improve facilities like seating, sunshades, wheelchairs, and nearby parking."

因德吉特辛格 (Inderjit Singh) 表示：“鑑於投票日預計將非常炎熱，我們希望讓投票過程對人們來說更加舒適。” “我們將提供代幣和座位安排，這樣人們就不必在陽光下排隊。此外，我們還將改善座位、遮陽傘、輪椅和附近停車場等設施。”

The LMC has identified several challenges faced by voters at polling booths, including inadequate drinking water, toilet facilities, seating, shade, and wheelchair accessibility. Additionally, long wait times due to high voter turnout, difficulties in locating names on voter lists, and a lack of comfortable waiting areas have been known to deter voters.

LMC 確定了選民在投票站面臨的幾項挑戰，包括飲用水、廁所設施、座位、遮陽和輪椅通道不足。此外，由於選民投票率高而導致等待時間過長、在選民名單上查找姓名困難以及缺乏舒適的等候區，這些都會阻礙選民的投票。

To address these issues, the LMC will not only provide tokens but also establish designated seating areas with shade and ensure the availability of drinking water at parking lots. Volunteers will be present to assist voters and streamline the process.

為了解決這些問題，LMC不僅將提供代幣，還將設立指定的帶遮陽的座位區，並確保停車場提供飲用水。志工將在場協助選民並簡化流程。

The LMC's commitment extends beyond the polling booths. In collaboration with Residents Welfare Associations, government departments, malls, and parks, the corporation will utilize every available platform to spread awareness about the election. Signages in public places, LMC vehicles providing drinking water and garbage collection services, and even IPL matches will be leveraged to remind citizens of the importance of voting.

LMC 的承諾不僅限於投票站。該公司將與居民福利協會、政府部門、商場和公園合作，利用一切可用的平台來傳播對選舉的認識。公共場所的標誌、提供飲用水和垃圾收集服務的LMC車輛，甚至IPL比賽都將用來提醒公民投票的重要性。

"As asked by the EC, we will use social media, establish clubs for voter education, and organize meetings with various social groups," added Singh. "Our goal is to make voting accessible for young people, women, and individuals with disabilities. We will closely collaborate with all stakeholders and conduct multiple campaigns leading up to the election."

辛格補充道：“按照選舉委員會的要求，我們將利用社交媒體，建立選民教育俱樂部，並組織與各個社會團體的會議。” “我們的目標是讓年輕人、婦女和殘疾人士能夠投票。我們將與所有利益相關者密切合作，並在選舉前開展多項活動。”

This proactive initiative by the LMC demonstrates a commitment to citizen well-being and the integrity of the electoral process. By addressing the challenges faced by voters, the corporation aims to ensure that the upcoming polls are conducted smoothly and without any hassles for the people of Lucknow.

瀾湄合作的這項積極措施體現了對公民福祉和選舉進程完整性的承諾。透過解決選民面臨的挑戰，該公司旨在確保即將舉行的投票順利進行，不給勒克瑙人民帶來任何麻煩。
