EC seeks parties' assistance in SIR-mapping exercise
Chandigarh, June 3 -- With pre-Special Intensive Revision (SIR) mapping covering 84.62% of voters in Punjab, the chief electoral officer (CEO), Punjab, Anindita Mitra on Tuesday met representatives of political parties, shared lists of unmapped voters and sought their support to further improve coverage.
The CEO met representatives of political parties as part of the Election Commission of India's electoral roll purification exercise. She said the lists reflected unmapped voters as on May 27 and noted that mapping of some of them may already have been completed subsequently. "Every effort is being made to reach out to maximum electors and complete the pre-mapping exercise before the start of the house-to-house enumeration phase," she said. According to an official release, the CEO also asked all political parties to actively participate in the successful completion of the SIR exercise.
Mitra said special camps will be organised at all polling stations across Punjab on June 7 to accelerate the pace of pre-mapping.
BLOs will be available at these camps from 10am to 4pm to facilitate voter mapping. The representatives of all recognised political parties were also asked to expedite the appointment of Booth Level Agents (BLAs)-2, who have a crucial role during the exercise. They were also familiarised with the procedure for voter mapping through the Election Commission's voter services portal https://voters.eci.gov.in/. htc...
