SIR: BLOs to visit homes of those issued notices, personal hearings only in exceptional cases; read full ECI statement
The Election Commission said SIR notices over unmapped entries or logical discrepancies will generally not require personal hearings, with BLOs visiting homes to collect documents. Hearings will be held only in exceptional cases, preferably online, it added.
The Election Commission (EC) has stated that individuals receiving notices during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) over unmapped entries or logical discrepancies will generally not need to attend personal hearings. Instead, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will visit their homes to collect necessary documents and upload them onto the ECINet for the Election Returning Officer (ERO) to review.
Personal hearings will only occur in exceptional circumstances, preferably online, and an adult family member can represent the elector if authorized. In cases where a person is issued a notice during SIR due to unmapped or logical discrepancies, BLOs will visit their homes to gather documents prior to uploading them onto ECINet.
The EC encourages the use of online methods for hearings, and the necessary facilities will be strengthened accordingly.
