Every Eligible Person In City Should Be Registered As A Voter: CEO

Hyderabad, Aug 1 (Hydnow) State Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Vikas Raj said that every eligible person in the city should be registered as a voter. He inaugurated a training program on voter registration for booth-level officers, supervisor officers, and representatives of the residential welfare association of 24 assembly constituencies under GHMC at Banjara Bhavan in Banjara Hills on Tuesday.

On this occasion, State Election Officer Vikas Raj said… In the past, when he had a meeting with the representatives of Serilingampally Zonal RW, he informed some problems. He said that the voters should be registered in the colony so that such problems do not recur and RW representatives should cooperate in voter identification. For that, the voter should be registered first with the cooperation of the representative of the residential colony. For that, the BLOs should prepare a plan for the voter registration of eligible people. Once the complete details of the voter registration are uploaded on the website, not only those belonging to the houses in the colony but also the eligible people in the houses near the colony should also be registered as voters. This process should be completed in 10 days.

Chief Additional Election Officer Lokesh Kumar said… Booth-level officials should be active in preparing voter lists without errors. Changes and additions in the voter list should be corrected if those who are in the same house are in another polling station or border constituency.

In addition, efforts should be made to correct mistakes such as photo miss match, spelling mistakes, house numbers, address changes, voters of the same family members are in the same polling station, date of birth, and relationship. For changes and additions to the voter list, Form-8 should be done. Everyone who is eligible should be registered as a voter without missing out.

Hyderabad District Election Officer, GHMC Commissioner Ronald Rose said… Efforts should be made to increase the voting percentage in the GHMC area, along with voter registration, changes, and additions, steps should be taken to increase the voting percentage. In light of accusations from different parties that voters of the same family members are registering at different polling stations, steps should be taken to prevent such a repeat. Moreover, the commissioner asked to create awareness so that the name can be checked in the voter list.

Joint CEO Sarparaj Ahmed, Medchal, Rangareddy, Sangareddy District Collectors Amay Kumar, Harish, Sarath, Additional Commissioner Shankaraiah, Joint Commissioner Manga Manana, Returning Officers of respective constituencies, Deputy Commissioners, representatives of Residential Welfare Association, Supervisors and others participated in this program.
