JAIPUR: In view of the summary revision of the electoral roll (2022), a special campaign will be organised for eligible voters to register themselves on the voters’ list from November 1-30. During this period, apart from adding one’s name to the voters’ list, applications for claims and objections for deletion of names, making changes in the voters’ list can be done online and offline. Those who attain 18 years of age on January 1, 2022 are eligible for adding their names to the electoral roll or voters’ list.
Currently, there are 4.95 crore voters in the whole state. Of these, 2.58 crore are male voters and 2.37 crore are female voters. There are 52,062 polling stations in the state. The draft publication of the electoral roll for 198 constituencies will be issued on November 1, said state’s chief electoral officer (CEO) Praveen Gupta. “The draft publication for Vallabhnagar and Dhariawad constituencies will be issued on November 9,” said Gupta.
Special camps for adding and deletion of names will also be organised at the polling stations on November 14 and 21.
“At the time of receiving claims and objections, the booth level officers will be available at their respective polling stations along with the voters’ list at a scheduled time for receiving applications,” said Gupta. “At the special camps, the booth level officers will be present along with booth level agents appointed by the political parties to receive applications for claims/objections from 9am to 6pm,” he added.
Gupta said to make the voters’ list clean and error-free, booth level officers have been directed to contact the birth and death registration offices in their respective areas to get a fresh list of the deceased. “After verifying the dead voter, as per the list, they should submit the report to the electoral registration officer for deletion of the names,” he said.
As per the schedule, the final publication of voters’ lists will be done on January 5, 2022.
