According to the instructions of the Election Commission, there should not be more than 1100 voters at one booth. On an average, there are 300 to 400 voters in one ward of the Panchayat, hence there will be voters from more than one ward at one booth.
Physical verification of voter list will be done by January 24
Voter list will be prepared on the basis of ward and its physical verification will be done. Enumerators (employees) have been deployed for this. It will also be ensured that the voter list is as per the delimitation of the ward. Physical verification work will have to be completed by January 24. During physical verification, if it is found that someone’s name is not in the voter list of the concerned ward and is in another ward, then such mistakes have also been asked to be corrected. During physical verification, efforts have also been made to motivate people to add new names to the voter list. During this period, new applications will be taken. Along with this, voters who complete 18 years on January 1, 2026 will also be identified during the list upgrade period. So that they can be included in the voter list. Let us tell you that the tenure of all the Panchayats in the state has been completed, hence elections for 14,000 Gram Panchayats of the state will be held simultaneously. On the other hand, elections for Panchayat Samitis and District Councils will not be held simultaneously. Because elections for Panchayat Committees and District Councils whose tenure has not been completed will be held later.
