BLOs threatened to raise SIR progress from 60% to 75% in a day or face action
Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are facing disciplinary threats if they fail to increase electoral revision progress from 60% to 75% within a single day. The officers report a lack of proper training and conflicting instructions, leading to significant workplace stress.
Why it matters
Administrative pressure on election officials can impact the accuracy and integrity of electoral rolls and voter registration processes.
Amid the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR), Booth Level Officers (BLOs) said they are receiving notices threatening them with disciplinary action if their progress does not increase from 60% to 75% “in a day”.
The notices, issued by the Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs) on Monday, asked the BLOs to complete 75% of the enumeration work by Tuesday – within a day – or face disciplinary action.
