Continuous campaigns are being run across the state regarding voter verification. On Saturday, special camps were organized for voter registration in various railway stations, railway colonies and railway quarters located within the borders of Jharkhand. Related forms were filled on the spot to add or update the names of railway employees whose names were not yet registered in the voter list.
Chief Electoral Officer K. Ravi Kumar said that there are approximately one lakh railway employees and their families in the state. The names of a large number of people are not registered in the voter list of Jharkhand; hence a special campaign is being run on both Saturday and Sunday. On the first day of the campaign i.e. on Saturday, a good number of application forms were received in almost every camp; more forms are expected to come on Sunday.
The Chief Electoral Officer himself conducted a surprise inspection of Noamundi area of West Singhbhum and reviewed the voter registration activities going on there and definitely gave instructions to his subordinates.
Many awareness oriented cultural programs like Rangoli etc. were also organized in many educational institutions across the state.
