BLOs, other officials warned of honorarium cut over errors
LUCKNOW, Nov. 15 -- Uttar Pradesh chief electoral officer (CEO) Navdeep Rinwa on Saturday warned that booth level officers (BLOs), BLO supervisors, electoral registration officers (EROs) and assistant electoral registration officers (AEROs) will be held accountable for errors, negligence, or faulty work in the voter list.
While the honorarium of up to one month could be reduced for BLOs and BLO supervisors, there will be a proportionate reduction in honorarium for AEROs and AEROs for a maximum of approximately two months, he said.
He directed all district election officers (DEOs) in the state to ensure the accuracy, reliability, and quality of electoral rolls under the Special Summary Revision (SSR) commencing in the state from November 17. "During the SSR process, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has scheduled the receipt of claims and objections from November 17 to December 16," he said
"If due to negligence or faulty work of the BLO, duplicate entries, errors related to gender, name, age, and address or improper insertions and deletions are found, honorarium of the BLO concerned may be deducted for up to one month, depending on the number and severity of errors," he said
Similarly, the concerned BLO supervisor's honorarium will also be deducted for a maximum of one month for serious errors, he added. The CEO directed all district election officers to conduct regular quality audits of the electoral rolls. The officer or personnel responsible for each serious error will be identified and action will be taken as per the rules. He clarified that laxity in supervision at any level will be considered serious negligence. Citizens will be encouraged to report genuine errors in the voter list. Following verification, citizens who identify the most genuine errors will be appropriately honoured by the district election officer concerned, he said....
