Detailed Schedule of the Revision Process
According to the schedule provided, preliminary training for Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will be conducted from June 20 to June 29, 2025. Following this, from June 30 to July 29, BLOs will undertake house-to-house visits to distribute and collect enumeration forms. Voters will also have the option of submitting their forms online for added convenience. Proposals for rationalization of polling stations must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by July 29.

However, they can apply for inclusion during the claims and objections period by furnishing one of the 12 prescribed documents. He added that BLOs will visit households at least three times to ensure maximum voter coverage and minimize omissions.
