Election Commission launches voter registration drive in colleges, households

The State Election Commission has intensified its voter registration activities by setting up dedicated camps across educational institutions and residential areas. These camps are designed to facilitate the enrollment of eligible voters while simultaneously addressing pending claims and objections related to voter registration.

Voter Registration Officers have been tasked with managing the camps, where citizens can submit applications for new voter registration, file claims for corrections to existing entries, and lodge formal objections against disputed registrations. The initiative aims to ensure comprehensive coverage and maximize participation in the electoral process.

The house-to-house verification campaign complements the fixed camp structure, allowing election officials to reach voters who may face difficulties accessing designated registration centers. This dual approach is intended to streamline the registration process and resolve pending administrative matters before upcoming electoral exercises.

The camps are equipped to handle various voter-related administrative functions, including processing of documents and verification of voter eligibility criteria. Officials are expected to maintain records of all transactions and provide necessary guidance to prospective voters regarding registration requirements and procedures.
