The Electoral Roll Observer for the upcoming Special Intensive Revision of Electoral Roll–2026 held a meeting with representatives of major political parties to discuss the process and ensure transparency. The meeting, conducted at the office of the Chief Electoral Officer, focused on the steps being taken to update and verify the rolls ahead of the 2026 elections.
Officials explained that the revision exercise is aimed at ensuring every eligible citizen is included in the electoral rolls and that errors or duplications are removed. Political parties were briefed on the schedule, procedures, and the role of Booth Level Officers in conducting door-to-door verification.
The Observer emphasized that cooperation from political parties is crucial to the success of the exercise. Parties were urged to appoint booth-level agents to monitor the process and raise objections, if any, within the stipulated timeframe.
Representatives of several parties welcomed the initiative but stressed the need for strict monitoring to prevent exclusion of genuine voters. They also highlighted the importance of awareness campaigns in rural and urban areas to encourage citizens to check and update their voter details.
The Observer assured that all concerns raised would be addressed and reiterated the Election Commission’s commitment to conducting a free, fair, and inclusive revision.
