Why it matters
Efficient voter registration drives are essential for maintaining the integrity and inclusivity of democratic processes in large districts.
A special drive to include all eligible voters in the electoral rolls will be held across Palakkad district from October 15 to 31, District Collector Sudhir K. said here on Monday. The drive will cover all 12 Assembly constituencies in the district. Digital assistance centres will function at all village offices, including on holidays, to help people apply for inclusion in the voters’ list.
The Collector said applicants need to submit only Form 6 online, as the additional declaration form previously required was dropped. Applications can be filed through the Citizen Service Portal or the Voter Helpline app. Applicants must upload a photograph and one of the prescribed documents to prove their age and address. Those submitting Aadhaar as address proof must provide one additional document, he said.
