Puducherry Makes Significant Progress in Electoral Roll Revision
The Union Territory of Puducherry has achieved a major milestone in its electoral roll revision process, with distribution of enumeration forms reaching an impressive 92.5% as of Tuesday. This significant progress comes as part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise conducted by the Election Commission of India (ECI).
Booth-Level Officers Continue Distribution Efforts
According to Chief Electoral Officer P Jawahar, who announced the achievement through an official release, booth-level officers (BLOs) are committed to ensuring complete coverage. These dedicated officials will make at least three visits to distribute the enumeration forms to the remaining electors who haven't received them yet.
Meanwhile, the election machinery has initiated the next phase of the process - collecting back the filled-in enumeration forms from voters. This collection process is running simultaneously with the ongoing distribution efforts to maximize efficiency and ensure no voter is left behind.
Multiple Channels for Voter Assistance
Jawahar emphasized the crucial role of BLOs, describing them as trusted guides for electors throughout the Special Intensive Revision process. To facilitate better communication between voters and election officials, the administration has established multiple contact channels.
Voters can now reach their designated booth-level officers through the innovative 'Book-a-call-with-BLO' feature available on the ECINET mobile application. Alternatively, they can use the toll-free number 1950 for assistance with the electoral roll revision process.
For those seeking additional contact information, the election commission has made details of Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), and BLOs accessible through the official website www.ceopuducherry.gov.in.
Online Options for Voter Convenience
Recognizing the need for digital accessibility, the election commission has provided online alternatives for voters who haven't received their enumeration forms. Eligible voters can apply for these forms through the ECINET mobile app or by visiting the web portal at www.voters.eci.gov.in.
Chief Electoral Officer Jawahar has made a sincere appeal to all electors in Puducherry, requesting their full cooperation with booth-level officers during the form-filling process. This collaborative effort between election officials and citizens is crucial for maintaining accurate and comprehensive electoral rolls in the Union Territory.
