Bhubaneswar: The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Odisha, has launched a special drive across all Assembly constituencies in the state to ensure that no eligible voter is left out of the electoral rolls.
The campaign is being carried out by a statewide network of 31 District Election Officers, 147 Electoral Registration Officers, 719 Assistant Electoral Registration Officers, 4,540 Booth Level Officer (BLO) supervisors and 45,250 BLOs, according to a press note issued on Thursday.
The CEO’s office said the proactive campaign would continue to cover all eligible voters and facilitate the inclusion of new and left-out electors in the electoral rolls.
Eligible voters can apply for enrolment using Form-6 at any time of the year. Voters have also been advised to check their names in the final electoral roll and file claims or objections, wherever necessary.
Form-7 can be used to raise objections to the proposed inclusion or deletion of a name in the existing electoral roll, while Form-8 is meant for changes in residence, correction of entries, replacement of the Elector Photo Identity Card (EPIC) and marking of persons with disabilities (PwD).
People facing electoral roll-related grievances or requiring assistance with Form-6 can contact the 1950 helpline or visit helpdesks at the offices of District Election Officers and Electoral Registration Officers during office hours, the press note said.
