‘Tendered Vote’ and ‘Challenge Vote’?

Challenge Vote:

• When any agent of candidate challenges identity of any voter, the presiding officer holds probe and the challenge does not hold ground, then the voter can vote.
• In case, the challenge is proven, then elector can be denied and a written complaint will be lodged against elector with police station.

Tendered Vote:

• When any voter had already cast the vote against the name of some other voter, then the actual voter has right to seek ‘tendered vote’.
• The presiding officer then allows him to vote through ballot paper which is marked as tendered vote.
