Under the Commission's decision, how will the documents of voters who received notices during the revision be collected?
- A.The voters must appear before the ERO with originals
- B.Booth Level Officers will visit homes and upload them on ECINet
- C.Documents must be sent by registered post to the Commission
- D.Only a district magistrate can accept the documents
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is that Booth Level Officers will visit homes and upload the documents on ECINet. The Commission decided that people served notices for being unmapped or for logical discrepancies need not be called to the office of the Electoral Registration Officer or the Assistant Electoral Registration Officer at all; the BLO comes to the house, collects the papers and uploads them, and the ERO then decides the case. Option A is wrong because a personal hearing is now only for exceptional cases and, where held, is preferably online, with any adult family member allowed to attend on the elector's behalf. Options C and D describe procedures the Commission did not order. District Election Officers were separately asked to open help desks and camps for the homeless and for labourers.
