'Telepad' cover needed for vote privacy

The "telepads" used for anonymous voting ballots at the People's Hall of China should be equipped with a cover-up lid to ensure the delegates' privacy, according to a proposal by Guan Chengyuan, a National Committee member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the country's top advisory body.

The proposal has garnered more than ten signatories from other members attending the annual session of the CPPCC National Committee in Beijing so far, the Beijing Times reported Monday.
