MARGAO: All political parties were called at the office of South Goa District Collector on Friday to brief them about the ongoing summary revision of Electoral Roll and to update about the special campaign dates. The mock poll was also held. A person falling under the categories listed by the Election Commission of India can vote from home, without visiting the booth in person.
“We briefed the party representatives about summary revision and special campaign dates, explained them the process of inclusion and deletion of names from the Electoral Roll and the process of shifting of voters name from one Constituency to other. All the instruction regarding summary revision of role was passed to the representatives to seek their cooperation for smooth revision and updation of Electoral Roll,” said Sanjeet Rodrigues, Deputy Collector of South Goa. Rodrigues said that the representatives of Goa Forward Party, Bharatiya Janata Party and Indian National Congress were present at the meeting.
One of the representatives said, each booth is now limited to only 1000 voters. New booth is added in the area where the numbers of voters are exceeding the count of 1000.
The updated list of voters is regularly communicated to them through electronic mail.
