SIR: Voters need to submit documents only if their names are missing from draft list, says Udupi DC

Udupi Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer T.K. Swaroopa said on Friday that voters will have to submit any of the 11 documents prescribed by the Election Commission of India (ECI) only if their names are missing from the draft voters’ list to be published on August 5. Those whose names appear in the draft list need not submit any documents.

Speaking at the monthly interaction programme organised by the Udupi Union of Working Journalists at Udupi Press Club on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), Ms. Swaroopa said strict instructions had been issued several times to BLOs to visit houses and issue and collect forms. Notices have already been issued to BLOs who have been working slowly. Appropriate action will be taken against BLOs who are not performing their duties properly, she said.
