Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will identify the names which are registered in panchayat electoral roll but are missing in CEO’s electoral roll. The BLOs will have to ensure registration of such voters – if found eligible – in ECI’s electoral roll during the summary revision that will be conducted between September 29 and January 2.

Addressing the media persons on Friday,UP CEO Umesh Sinha said the draft electoral roll updated during the house-to-house survey conducted in past two months would be published on September 29.

The officers will visit the addresses of those names that are registered in panchayat electoral roll but are absent in ECI’s roll. Such persons would be provided Form-6 to apply for registration in ECI’s electoral roll if they fulfill the criteria of the Election Commission.
