But how will you determine those areas where the situation is likely to arise? Nowhere is it stated in this document that Muslim women are the only persons entitled to vote with their faces hidden. The women farmers group from so and so town from across the way could very well decide one of these days to go and vote not veiled but “scarved“ because of the cold. Your analysis of voter profiles will certainly not be able to predict that kind of an event. If these women present themselves at a polling station and no female worker is there to take care of them, what will you do?
