Documents will be required only in cases where an elector’s name cannot be mapped with the previous SIR 2005 Electoral Roll or where logical discrepancies are detected after publication of the draft electoral rolls.
In such cases, the concerned electors will be required to appear before the respective Assembly Constituency Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs) during the claims and objections period, along with the necessary documentary proof.
The DC’s office has appealed to the public to extend full cooperation to the BLOs and ensure that duly filled Enumeration Forms are handed over during their house-to-house visits.
It stated that public cooperation is essential for the smooth and successful completion of the Special Intensive Revision of Electoral Rolls in Wokha district.
