Election Officials Urged to Map Voter Lists for Efficiency

Key election officials are being directed to enhance voter list accuracy and efficiency by meticulously mapping current voter rolls with historical data. This initiative, spearheaded by Chief Electoral Officer K. Ravi Kumar, aims to streamline the upcoming intensive voter list revision program across the state. The focus is on maximizing the mapping of current voters with the 2003 electoral rolls. This detailed mapping process is crucial, as it will significantly simplify the enumeration form-filling process for a larger number of electors. These directives were issued during an online meeting with Deputy Electoral Officers from various districts, conducted from the Election Hall. Strict adherence to electoral duties is paramount, with any laxity from Booth Level Officers (BLOs) potentially leading to their suspension and replacement. All designated election-related tasks are mandatory for officials at every level, and no negligence will be tolerated. During a comprehensive review, the Chief Electoral Officer examined the voter list mapping progress in each district, providing essential guidance to resolve on-ground challenges. Officials have been instructed to conduct field visits to personally inspect mapping issues and expedite solutions. A presentation on the rationalization of polling stations was also delivered to all attendees, offering insights into optimizing election infrastructure.
