Election Commission officials on Monday reviewed the progress of electoral roll revision at Kolhan and took stock of preparedness of the administration for the Assembly polls in the State, expected to be held any time from now.
Anuj Jaipuriar, secretary of Election Commission of India, reviewed the latest position on electoral rolls at a special meeting with District Collectors of Kolhan at District Headquarters of East Singhbhum.
Session officer Vinod Kumar, East Singhbhum deputy commissioner Amitabh Kaushal, and DDC of West Singhbhum Balkrishna Munda were among those present on the occasion.
Jaipuriar verified and inspected the draft electoral rolls prepared for the different Assembly segments. He instructed the district administration to gear up the machinery to complete the entire process of compiling the final list of voters with their photos ready by July 1 this year.
Talking to the media, Jaipuriar, said that no complain has been received so far regarding to the electoral roll so far. However, the team has found imbalance over the male and female ratio of the electoral rolls in Kolhan. The ratio is 903 female per 1,000 male.
“We need to improve the gender ratio of the voters in the Kolhan Division. During the review we have found that male migration has led to the imbalance in the ratio. We have also asked the voters to file their complaint through Form 6 if they want to register any complain,” he noted.
In Monday’s meeting, presentations were also made on voter classifications and roll upgradation revision carried out by the administrative officials. He advised the officials to take steps to prepare error-free voters list and complete the inclusion and deletion of voters within the stipulated time.
