Another chance for over 1.5L left-out electors in Nagaland

Dimapur, Nov 6 (UNI) The 1,57,752 electors left out of the draft electoral roll during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Nagaland have got another opportunity to seek inclusion in the final list.
Out of the 13,57,208 electors before the SIR, the draft electoral roll published in Nagaland on September 20 contained 12,06,457 electors.
Among the 1,57,752 electors left out in the draft electoral roll in the state, 1,23,749 were categorised as absent, permanently shifted or other; 28,944 were identified as deceased and 5,059 as duplicate or multiple enrolments.
The ECI has asked the state election machinery, along with six other states, to publicise the fresh opportunity through newspapers, social media, official websites and public announcements, and to establish a monitoring mechanism to ensure that no eligible elector is deprived of the opportunity to seek inclusion while preventing duplicate enrolments. An action-taken report has also been sought from the chief electoral officers.
The commission, in its letter dated November 6, directed the chief electoral officers of the states to facilitate the submission of fresh enumeration forms by electors marked as absent, shifted, dead or duplicate (ASDD), whose forms were not received and whose names consequently did not figure in the draft roll.
The directive requires booth-wise lists of such electors to be displayed afresh on polling station notice boards, ‘panchayat bhawans’ and urban local body offices.
The lists, along with the probable reasons for non-inclusion, must also be uploaded in a readable PDF file on the respective chief electoral officer’s website.
Those who have shifted within Nagaland need not submit Form 8 but must provide the enumeration form, along with a statement indicating their new address and assembly constituency, supported by proof of residence.
They may also approach the BLO of the polling station they have moved to.
