On the directions of the Election Commission and Chief Electoral Officer, Punjab, special camps were organised on Sunday at all 2,927 polling booths across all Assembly constituencies by booth level officers (BLOs) to accelerate the progress of mapping remaining voters under pre-SIR voter mapping.

Additional Deputy Commissioner (G)-cum-Additional Electoral Officer Poonam Singh conducted inspections at polling booths in various Assembly constituencies to check the presence of BLOs and reviewed the voter mapping work being carried out by them.

She visited booths 2, 3 and 4 under Ludhiana Central at Kamla Lohtia Sanatan Dharam College, near Bajwa Nagar, booths 52, 53, 54, 55 and 56 under Ludhiana West at Government Elementary School, College Road, Civil Lines, booths 132, 133, 134, 135 and 136 under the Ludhiana North constituency at Government High School, Kundanpuri. All BLOs were found present at the booths.

Poonam Singh directed BLOs to enhance voter mapping efforts and increase outreach. Additionally, instructions were issued to share the list of un-mapped voters with booth level agents (BLAs) and representatives of local political parties.

As per the instructions of the Election Commission, BLAs appointed by various political parties and local councillors were also present.

The Additional District Electoral Officer also asked the BLAs and councillors to assist the BLOs and help in mapping the un-mapped voters.
