Kalka SDM and Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) Sanyam Garg on Saturday directed officials to issue show-cause notices to 10 supervisors and 53 Booth Level Officers (BLOs) for negligence in the ongoing Special Intensive Review (SIR) of electoral rolls in Panchkula district.
Show-Cause Notices Issued for Negligence
The notices were issued following observations of lapses in the performance of duties by the BLOs and supervisors during the revision process. Garg stressed that all officers and employees associated with the exercise must carry out the revision with seriousness and within the stipulated timeframe to ensure the preparation of an error-free electoral roll.
ERO Appeals to Voters
Garg appealed to voters to fill the prescribed forms without waiting for the last date and to seek help from the concerned supervisors and BLOs. He advised voters to keep at least one passport-size photograph ready while completing the process and to cooperate with Booth Level Agents (BLAs).
Voter Verification and List Clean-Up
The ERO explained that voter verification is being carried out as part of the SIR. In this process, the names of deceased persons, permanently relocated voters, or duplicate voters will be removed from the voter list as per the rules. Following this revision, polling stations in the Kalka Assembly constituency will be rationalised based on the number of voters.
