Booth Level Officers in Meghalaya will canvass households to verify voter details as the state prepares to publish its final electoral roll on October 26.
Meghalaya's Election Commission has announced that Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will begin a door‑to‑door campaign across the state to update and verify voter information. The exercise is part of the finalisation process for the state's electoral roll, which is scheduled to be released on October 26.
The BLOs are tasked with visiting each household in their assigned polling areas, confirming the names, ages and addresses of eligible voters, and identifying any duplications or errors. Residents are urged to cooperate and provide accurate details to ensure their names appear on the final list.
Election officials indicated that the outreach will run for the next few weeks, concluding before the roll is published. The updated roll will serve as the definitive voter register for upcoming elections in Meghalaya, influencing constituency boundaries and candidate nominations.
Authorities emphasized that a clean and accurate roll is essential for free and fair elections, and they have asked political parties and civil society groups to support the verification drive.
