Chief Electoral Officer to hold special camp at all polling booths
Those willing to enrol themselves in the voters list to cast their ballot in the lok Sabha polls starting April 7 will get a last opportunity on Sunday. The Delhi Chief Electoral Officer will hold a special camp on March 9 at all polling booths which will help both the existing voters and aspiring ones.
While the existing voters can check the veracity of their names on the voters list on that day, new voters can enrol by filing up Form 6 at the camps. “The Commission has directed that a special camp shall be organised at all polling stations on March 9. In this camp, the electoral roll for that polling station shall be pasted on the wall of the polling station and shall also be read out in public so that people can check their name is in the electoral roll,” a said a senior official of Election Office.
“If the name of any person eligible to be enrolled is left out for some reason or has been wrongly deleted, such a person should immediately fill application for inclusion of name in Form 6 and hand it over to the Booth level Officer (BlO), who will be present in the camp at the polling station. The BlO shall then deliver the form to the ERO, who will include the name if the applicant is found eligible to be enrolled as an elector,” the Election Commission has said in its directive to States and UTs.
