In the second session, David Kent, BLO Tseminyu New town, trained BLOs through role-plays, form-filling exercises, assessments, and case studies on house-to-house electoral surveys.

Participants were divided into four groups for role-plays, practicing polite communication, correct identification and handling of electoral forms (Forms 6, 6A, 7, and 8) in different scenarios.

The role-play scenarios covered typical household situations BLOs may face, such as residence changes, voting card issues, and form management for family members, along with assessments of form-filling exercises.

Livika, assistant programmer, led the third session, focusing on the BLOs App, reviewing form-filling exercise results, discussing common mistakes, and providing guidance on avoiding errors. She also conducted a doubt-clearing session and re-assessment for those who didn't pass.

In the fourth session, EAC & AEO Tseminyu, Molosangla Ozukum, spoke on online assessment of the participants - multiple choice questions through Google forms/BLOs App.

In his closing remarks, Deputy Commissioner Japheth Woch emphasised the importance of intensive summary revision for accurate electoral rolls, ensuring elections adhere to Election Commission guidelines.
