Ahead of SIR, 75 pc of voters mapped with 2003 rolls in Jharkhand: CEO

Jharkhand's Chief Electoral Officer has completed parental mapping of 75% of voters with 2003 electoral rolls, with unmapped voter lists to be displayed at polling booths from May 23.

Jharkhand Chief Electoral Officer K Ravi Kumar on Saturday said the parental mapping of 75 per cent of voters with that of the 2003 electoral rolls has been completed in the run-up to the SIR exercise, scheduled to begin on June 20 in the state.

The list of all unmapped voters will be displayed at all polling booths from Saturday, he said.

All mapped voters would not need to submit any additional documents for the ensuing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.

Jharkhand now has 2.64 crore voters.

''The parental mapping of 75 per cent voters in Jharkhand with that of the electoral rolls in 2003, when the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) was last held, has been completed so far. The list of all unmapped voters will be released starting today (May 23) at all polling booths across the state,'' the CEO said.

He appealed to the electors to visit their respective polling centres and check their names in the unmapped voter list, he said.

Kumar said people whose names appear in the unmapped list should contact their booth-level officer to get their names mapped.

The list will be available at all polling stations for the next two weeks, the CEO said, adding that on August 5, along with the draft publication of the electoral roll, the list of absent, deceased, and duplicate voters will also be released.
