Mysore/Mysuru: The exercise to revise the voter list for the year 2024 (special brief revision) has begun and will go on till Aug. 21. Polling station-level officers are visiting door to door for correction, addition and deletion of the names of voters.

Officers from the Mysuru District Administration said that the process was started following directions by the Election Commission of India with regard to the revision of voters’ list. They appealed to political parties to deploy agents to coordinate with officials.

Officials have been instructed to ensure there are no shortcomings in the special brief revision of the voter list and addition, deletion and correction of names is carried out without errors.

Polling station-level officers will visit houses to revise data like adding, correcting and removing names of voters through the BLO (Booth Level Officer) software. Training has already been given to BLOs regarding the special brief revision of the electoral roll. Officials were instructed to depute more BLOs wherever there is a shortage of such officers.

Information on deceased voters and those who have shifted should be entered correctly and applications for new registration (Form 6) and correction (Form 8) have to be submitted.
