The Commission said that July 25 is the final date for submission of enumeration forms. Names of those who have submitted forms will be included in the draft electoral rolls to be published on August 1.
The ECI stated that efforts have been intensified to ensure inclusion of all eligible voters in the draft electoral roll. The election machinery — comprising nearly one lakh Booth Level Officers (BLOs), four lakh volunteers, and 1.5 lakh Booth Level Agents (BLAs) nominated by the district presidents of 12 major political parties — is working to trace electors whose forms have not been received or who were not found at their listed addresses.
Chief Electoral Officers, Electoral Registration Officers, and BLOs have also held meetings with representatives of political parties, sharing lists of the 21.36 lakh electors whose forms are pending and nearly 52.30 lakh who are reportedly deceased, permanently shifted, or enrolled at multiple places.
According to the SIR order dated June 24, the draft rolls published on August 1 will be open to public scrutiny for a one-month period till September 1, during which any member of the public may file objections regarding additions, deletions, or corrections.
