EC explains new ERONET options for SIR notice disposal to EROs through demo video; no written instructions yet
New options allow EROs to clear SIR notice cases without documents or hearings; introduced midway through third phase; options were not available in 22 States and UTs where exercise is complete
The Election Commission (EC) has introduced three new options on its ERONET portal that allow Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) to dispose of notice cases without hearings or documents in the remaining 10 States and Union Territories (UTs) where the third phase of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is ongoing.
This development comes amid concerns about centralisation of ERONET under the ECINET software and has been explained to officials through a demonstration video prepared by the EC's IT Department. The video, which was shown to EROs in Delhi on September 30 and other States on October 3, explains the new options for generating notices without scheduling hearings and provides flexibility in disposing of cases where documents have not been submitted.
