There are 2.49 million voters in this seat, and district officials have announced that 2,407 polling places—989 in urban areas and 1,418 in rural regions—will be set up to ensure a seamless voting procedure.
61% of voters cast ballots in Gurugram for the 2019 elections, which saw BJP candidate Singh defeat Congress contender Captain Ajay Yadav by 386,256 votes.
Yadav met with district officials at the mini secretariat shortly after the election dates were announced, during which he declared that a surveillance squad would be set up to keep an eye on any undesired activity and prevent voter compulsion or inducement. According to EC guidelines, he warned, those detected carrying cash or alcohol in vehicles in excess of the allowed amounts will face severe consequences.
Additional District Commissioner Hitesh Kumar Meena will serve as the Voter Awareness (SWEEP) campaign's nodal officer in an effort to boost election turnout. According to Yadav, innovative initiatives in educational institutions, unique public events, and the designation of an ambassador for voter awareness will all be carried out.
Nishant Kumar Yadav, the deputy commissioner of Gurugram and the district's election commission officer, stated that the district's elections will be held in a transparent and unbiased manner in accordance with EC directives and that a monitoring team will keep an eye on the candidates' agendas at the district level.
He stated that during their electoral efforts, candidates are urged to abide by the model code of behaviour. To maintain track of election spending, the Election Department has set prices for tents, lunches, tea, cars, and campaign materials. For the elections, a candidate may spend up to ₹95 lakh. The electoral bureau has requested that candidates present a thorough breakdown of their out-of-pocket expenses.
