People who were issued enumeration forms during the special intensive revision of electoral rolls in Delhi and six states, but whose names were excluded from the draft voter list after being marked absent, shifted, dead or duplicate, will get another opportunity to have their names included in the final rolls, the Election Commission said on Friday.
The provision applies to electors in Delhi, Maharashtra, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Telangana and Nagaland.
The booth level officers will issue fresh enumeration forms to these voters. Those who have shifted to a new address within the state must submit the form along with proof of residence. They will not need to file Form 8, which is used to update addresses, the poll body said.
The Election Commission said that district election officers and electoral registration officers must make every effort to contact the electors through booth level officers and ensure that enumeration forms are delivered to them either physically or through electronic means.
Electors who have not shifted homes but were unable to submit their forms earlier must submit the form along with a statement explaining the reason for the delay. They can submit these documents to the electoral registration officer, assistant electoral registration officer or booth level officer, the poll panel said.
