EC steps up digitisation of enumeration forms as SIR begins in Karnataka

The Election Commission has stepped up the digitisation of Enumeration Forms under the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Karnataka, with district administrations conducting a special drive over the weekend to improve the pace of the exercise.

According to the Commission, all Deputy Commissioners-cum-District Election Officers carried out a drive on June 27 and 28 through Booth Level Officers (BLOs), resulting in a significant increase in both the distribution and digitisation of Enumeration Forms.

The Commission stated distribution of forms increased by 4.63% while digitisation rose by 8.28% during the two-day drive.

Campaign this weekend too

A similar special campaign will be organised on July 4 and 5 to accelerate the process across Karnataka. Appealing to voters to extend their cooperation, the Commission urged electors to assist Booth Level Officers in completing the digitisation of Enumeration Forms.

‘Book a call with BEO’

To make the process more convenient, voters have been advised to use the ‘Book a Call with BLO’ feature available on the ECINet mobile application, which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

The facility is also available on the voters.eci.gov.in portal, where electors can seek information on the Special Intensive Revision, and the procedure for filling up the Enumeration Form.

The Commission stated that the portal also provides a range of election-related services, including voter registration and correction of electoral roll details.
