16 July
1. The Union Election Commission has compiled draft lists of eligible voters in 2019 in order to get complete and accurate lists of eligible voters for the General Election to be held on 8 November 2020. The relevant sub-commission monthly updated the lists of eligible voters.
2. Those lists of eligible voters will be announced on notice boards at the relevant ward/village-tract sub-commission offices and villages for 14 days, from 25-7-2020 to 7-8-2020 for the first time. The voters need to check the lists, and if necessary, they can do the following three things.
(a) Voters can request the relevant officials to add their names using Form -3 in the lists of eligible voters if they do not find their names in it.
(b) They can make complaints to those who are not eligible in the list using Form -4.
(c) Voters can submit a data-correction form using Form (4-c) if their data are wrong.
3. All the required forms are available free of charge at ward/village-tract sub-commission offices. After such additions, subtractions or amendments to the lists, the updated lists of eligible voters will again be announced on notice boards in October 2020 (as the last time) for 14 days. Then, voters will be able to request the relevant officials to amend the lists again.
4. A person will be able to vote only if his or her name is included in the relevant list of eligible voters. In order to get complete and accurate lists of eligible voters, the people are requested to cooperate with election officials by sending at least one person from each household to the relevant election offices to check the list.
