Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), C. Sudharsan Reddy said on Tuesday that 68.30 per cent of the voter mapping ahead of the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral roll was completed across the state. The exercise involves verifying each voter to the SIR of 2002, using either their own registration or the registration of their parents or grandparents as voters. The SIR itself is to begin on June 15.
During a meeting to review arrangements for the SIR in Telangana, in the presence of senior ECI officials, principal secretary, Avinash Kumar and under-secretary Sanjay Kumar at BRKR Bhavan, the CEO briefed the officials on the details of the assembly constituencies, the manpower drafted for SIR (including EROs, AEROs, BLO supervisors, and BLOs) and the setting up of help desks.
The ECI officials stressed the need to remain vigilant while filling out and collecting enumeration forms. They instructed officials to widely publicise the online submission of enumeration forms via the official portal (voters.eci.gov.in), as well as the ‘Book a Call’ facility, which helps voters get quick information about the SIR.
Additionally, the district election officers were directed to hold regular all-party meetings and actively involve booth level agents in the SIR process. The ECI team also clarified several technical and administrative queries raised by the EROs and AEROs present.
