Photo: STAR
We all welcome the news that the general election might be held by October 2008. The CEC in a press conference has narrated the steps being taken for preparation of the voter list with photo, possible timing of the city corporation elections, etc. He has also mentioned his satisfaction regarding the work already done for the preparation of the voter list with photo in some selected areas, and also expressed his satisfaction with the progress of work in other places at hand now. For the purpose of transparency, the EC may kindly inform the people regarding the following aspects in course of their next press conference: a. What procedural steps and formalities are being followed while a voter list with photo of a given constituency or area is considered complete? b. Statistical data like number of voters with photo, gender wise, in each completed constituency or area. c. Under the new law, is it a part of the prescribed procedures to make a draft list and put it on display for public viewing in the area, and after certain date, make it final taking into consideration any objection or prayer for inclusion of omitted names? The above issues are basic about finalisation of a voter list. Therefore, we think it might be useful to raise these questions for more clarity on the status of preparation of the voter list with photo.
