Ahead of the state assembly polls, the Pune district administration has taken steps to update the voter list. The election officials will be stationed at all polling stations with the preliminary voter list today. The campaign was also conducted on Saturday. Deputy Collector Meenal Kalaskar has urged voters to verify whether their names are included in the list.
The preliminary electoral roll has been released as part of the special short revision program by the Election Commission of India. To facilitate claims and objections regarding the preliminary voter list, special campaigns will be conducted in the district on Sunday, August 11, Saturday, August 17, and Sunday, August 18, which are public holidays. Voters should check that their names are correctly listed on the voter roll. If a name is missing or needs correction, claims and objections can be submitted to the polling center officials. The Voter Helpline app or the website https://voters.eci.gov.in/ should be used for submitting claims and objections.
