Delhi SIR extended, no mandatory ERO hearing: EC takes key decisions amid calls for Gyanesh Kumar's resignation
Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Saturday chaired key meeting of the Election Commission amid demands for his resignation.
The Election Commission has decided to extend the deadline for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Delhi. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar chaired a crucial meeting amid calls for his resignation. No mandatory hearing at the Election Review Officer (ERO) office is required for those who have received a notice due to discrepancies.
Booth Level Officers will visit the homes of those marked as unmapped to collect documents and upload them to ECINet. A hearing, preferably online, will only be held in exceptional cases, with an adult family member able to attend on the elector's behalf if needed. District Election Officers will establish additional help desks and special camps for vulnerable populations like those residing in night shelters or homeless individuals.
