Interacting with officials involved in poll management, the CEC said the polls will be fear-free, violence-free and intimidation-free.
Officials said the poll authority will ensure elections are also inducement-free and “booth jamming free”.
No employee of the state government, local bodies or autonomous bodies will be allowed to influence the electoral process, they said.
