Punjab Chief Electoral Officer Anindita Mitra said on Saturday that more than 1 crore enumeration forms have been successfully digitised within 16 days of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in the state.
In a statement released, she stated that ensuring near-universal outreach to the electorate, 99.34 per cent of the enumeration forms have already been distributed.
Mitra said the collection and digitisation of enumeration forms is a vital step towards maintaining accurate electoral rolls and strengthening the democratic process.
Appreciating the efforts of booth-level officers (BLOs), supervisors, Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs) and Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) said they have ensured the timely distribution, collection and digitisation of enumeration forms across all 117 Assembly constituencies and 24,453 polling stations in the state.
She said two-day special camps have been organised across Punjab on July 11 and 12, from 8 am to 3 pm, at all polling stations to accelerate the exercise and encourage greater public participation.
During these camps, the remaining enumeration forms will be filled, collected and digitised. Anomalies and linkage discrepancies will also be addressed, and citizens will be provided help in updating and verifying their electoral details.
Mitra said during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, 24,453 BLOs are reaching out to more than 2.14 crore electors across Punjab between June 25 and July 24.
She further said the rationalisation of polling stations will be completed by July 24, followed by the publication of the draft electoral rolls on August 3.
Claims and objections may be filed from August 3 to September 2, while their disposal will be carried out between August 3 and September 28.
The final electoral rolls will be be published on October 1.
