BLOs flag training gaps ahead of next phase of SIR in Delhi
Booth Level Officers (BLOs) in Delhi have reported training deficiencies ahead of the upcoming special intensive revision of electoral rolls. The process involves verifying over 33 lakh voter forms, a task significantly more complex than previous enumeration phases.
Why it matters
Efficient electoral roll management is critical for democratic integrity, and administrative gaps could impact voter participation in upcoming elections.
With over 33 lakh voters set to face notices and hearings after the draft electoral roll is published on August 31, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) have flagged gaps in their training ahead of the next phase of special intensive revision (SIR) in Delhi.
The claims and objections phase, which begins with the publication of the draft roll, will require BLOs to deliver notices, explain documentation requirements and assist people whose names do not appear in the roll. The month-long process will run until September 30, while the notice and disposal process will continue until October 29.
