The administration clarified that such persons need not ordinarily appear personally before the ERO or Assistant Electoral Registration Officer (AERO) for a hearing. Where a hearing is considered necessary in exceptional circumstances, it would preferably be conducted online. An adult family member may also be authorised by the elector to attend the hearing on their behalf, wherever required.
Help Desks and Special Facilitation Camps would also be established at suitable locations to assist vulnerable sections and other eligible citizens requiring support, including persons living in night shelters, labourers, poor persons and homeless people.
The administration further stated that eligible persons whose names have been left out during the SIR or thereafter, including young and first-time voters, may approach the concerned ERO/AERO for inclusion in the Electoral Roll through the process of continuous updating, in accordance with applicable rules and procedures.
A special enrolment drive would also be undertaken by EROs, AEROs and BLOs in Mon district to identify and enrol eligible left-out electors, including first-time voters, while extending assistance in filing the requisite forms.
Konyak appealed to all eligible citizens to cooperate with BLOs and other election officials and provide the required information and documents wherever called for, stating that public cooperation was essential to maintaining an accurate, inclusive and up-to-date Electoral Roll.
The District Election Officer has directed all election officials to ensure that no eligible elector is left out merely for want of information or assistance, while adhering to the provisions of the Representation of the People Act, Registration of Electors Rules and directions of the ECI.
