Citizens Gave Good Response To Special Summary Revision Programme Of Electoral Rolls: Pune District Collector Rajesh Deshmukh
Pune, 28th June 2023: District Election Officer and Collector Dr. Rajesh Deshmukh informed that special camps were conducted on June 24 and 25 in each of 3 to 4 cooperative housing societies in the 21 assembly constituencies of the district under the special summary programme of voter lists.
The Election Commission of India has announced a special summary programme of electoral rolls on the qualifying date of January 1, 2024. In the camp organised by the district administration under this programme, a total of 1 thousand 763 applications, including 1 thousand 48 of the new voter registration application form No. 6, 93 of the name reduction form No. 7, and 622 of the No. 8 form, have been received from the concerned cooperative housing society for action.
Under this programme, polling booth-level officers (BLOs) are conducting house-to-house visits and verification. Actions will be taken to correct the errors in the voter list or voter ID card, correct the voter list by obtaining a photograph as per the commission’s standard, change the blurry photograph and get a proper quality photograph from the concerned voter, correct the voter list, etc.
Eligible voters who are not registered on January 1, 2023, and prospective eligible voters for January 1, 2024 voter registration will be registered in this list. This will include the deletion of multiple entries, dead voters, permanent migrant voters, and corrections to entries in the voter list.
Citizens should verify whether their name is included in the electoral roll or not so that no voter is deprived of voting in accordance with the upcoming Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.
If the voter’s name is included in more than one place, he should keep one name and reduce the names of other places by filling out Application Form 7 and submitting it to the office of the Voter Registration Officer or the concerned polling station level officer. Dr. Deshmukh has also appealed that if the names of the voters have been omitted by mistake, they should immediately submit Application Form 6 to the office of the concerned voter registration officer along with the necessary documents.
