Those willing to enroll themselves in the voters list to cast their ballot in the Lok Sabha polls starting April 7 will get a last opportunity this Sunday.
The Election Commission (EC) has asked chief electoral officers in all states and union territories to hold a special camp on March 9 at all polling booths which will help both the existing voters and aspiring ones.
While the existing voters can check the correctness of their names on the voters list on that day, new voters can enroll themselves by filing up the 'Form 6' on the spot at the camps.
"The Commission has directed that a special camp shall be organised at all polling stations on March 9... In this camp, the electoral roll for that polling station shall be pasted on the wall of the polling station and shall also be read out in public so that people can check that their name is in the electoral roll.
"If the name of any person eligible to be enrolled is left out for some reason or has been wrongly deleted, such a person should immediately fill application for inclusion of name in Form 6 and hand it over to the Booth Level Officer (BLO), who will be present in the camp at the polling station. The BLO shall then deliver the form to the ERO, who will include the name if the applicant is found eligible to be enrolled as an elector," the EC said in its directive to states and UTs.
The Lok Sabha polls will be held between April 7 and May 12 on nine days, in the highest number of phases so far in the country.
Counting of votes in all the 543 constituencies involving an electorate of 81.4 crore will be done on May 16.
