Pre revision activities  for the special summary of the photo electoral rolls has begun from today June 25 which will go upto July 24. 

There are 6 pre revision activities. Most important is H2H. It is a house to house survey of the electors. 

Sadar SDO Anurag Kumar Tiwari said "The success of H2H depends on how much pains and efforts are put in by the booth level officer called by the acronym BLO."

Tiwari said H2H is a very important work before the start of the special summary revision of the photo electoral rolls. 

It helps to add the left outs to the electoral rolls. New ones attaining 18 years on 1.7.2024 will be registered for the electoral roll. 

He said the ECI has focussed on the nuclear family. He said it has been discovered that if a family has 6 or 8 voters then 2 of them have been found voting at booth X,  3 at booth Y and remaining at both Z. 

Sadar SDO said "This is ridiculous. A family must have 1 booth where its voters can vote and not bother to go to different booths. ECI is very particular about it."

Tiwari said women voters feel bad when their men vote at different booths and they vote at some other booths. 

Blurred or dark or un noticeable photo voter's ICard has to be replaced by the colour ones without spending any pie for it by the voter. No BLO can charge for replacement of the photo. 

This is equally very important and no BLO can afford not to do it on any pretext, reiterated the sadar SDO. 

Reminded that in this lok sabha election there were voters alive who were shown as dead or absent or shifted and thus such voters lost the chance to vote as their names were not on the electoral rolls. 

One such voter is Father Maurice Kujur of the great church in the station road here. 

This Christian priest could not vote as his name was deleted from the electoral roll at booth number 209 here in Daltonganj assembly constituency this Lok Sabha election. 

Sadar SDO Anurag Kumar Tiwari warned the BLOs to be vigilant and to avert such a tragic fuss where a live voter is made to return from booth without voting simply because the voter is consigned to ASD group which is absent, shifted and dead. 

He said let the pre revision activities for the special summary of the photo electoral rolls be taken in right earnest.
