The Election Commission has set out a fresh implementation drive to identify eligible voters missing from electoral rolls in states and Union Territories where Special Intensive Revision has finished. UNI reported on October 2 that an October 1 letter instructs Booth Level Officers to compare pre-revision and current rolls and visit households to establish the status of people omitted.
Eligible applicants are to receive help submitting Form 6. According to UNI, officers have been asked to cover at least 20–25 identified electors each week, aiming to finish the exercise in about a month. Lists will be shared with recognised political parties’ booth agents, while registration officers will decide applications under the applicable election law and rules.
The Indian Express separately reported that instructions issued on September 29 were reiterated at the October 1 meeting with state election chiefs. The Commission’s September 26 statement had already announced a special enrolment drive in 20 states and Union Territories. The new reporting concerns its implementation, not an automatic restoration of every deleted name. Young and first-time voters are also covered, and camps may assist homeless people and residents of labour colonies.
