The ADC said that the final voter lists for the Municipal Corporation Gurugram and Manesar, the Municipal Council Pataudi-Jatauli Mandi, and the Municipal Committee Farrukhnagar must be published within the stipulated timeframe as per the directions of the State Election Commission.

Presiding over the meeting at the Mini Secretariat, ADC Meena instructed officials to expedite the ward-wise voter list compilation process. He further added that officials and employees should work on holidays if necessary to meet deadlines, municipal officials said. Meena said, “We must clearly assign the responsibilities of Booth Level Officers (BLOs) to ensure timely and accurate completion of voter list preparation.”

The voter list for the upcoming poll will be based on the previous one, Meena said, adding that ground-level discrepancies including voter details and their photos must be resolved before publishing the preliminary ward-wise voter list on December 17.
