You have only two days left to get yourself enroll in the voting list. With the schedule for the 16th lok Sabha election out, state capital residents are rushing get them registered in the voter’s list. People are found making beeline to the nearest polling station as this is the last revision before the elections of the state assembly slated to be held in April.
Election Commission looking the candidates long list still pending for enrollment of names in the voter list decided to extend the date from March 9 upto March 16. The candidates have to submit their form along with documents like proof of date of birth and address and two photographs to their nearest polling station.
The Chief Electoral Officer’s office has instructed the booth level officers (BlOs) to review the database go door-to-door and issue the voter slips to those whose name are to be entered, deleted or corrected. They have also been instructed to stick the voter slips on their door of those who are unavailable so that the residents can later go to their nearest voter facilitation centre to review their names.
Booth level officers (BlO) Ameen Ahmed sharing the information about the same said, “Every Day I am receiving around 30 applicants for enrollment of their names in the voting list. More than hundreds of voters have been enrolled till date. Moreover, the facilitators are also carrying out their door-to-door duty effectively.”
However, according to Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC) CEO Manoj Kumar, “Ranchi has significant floating population and many don’t have voter ID card as they are not registered here. The extended date for applying for entries and collection of forms is proving beneficial as people who failed to enroll themselves during the special drive are getting enrolled now.”
