The final Electoral Rolls for these two Assembly Constituencies have been published today, by the respective Electoral Registration Officers, in accordance with the schedule notified by the Election Commission of India. The Electoral Rolls have been handed over to the representatives of Political Parties by the concerned DEO and EROs.
As part of pre-revision activities, rationalisation of polling stations of 27-Budgam and 77-Nagrota ACs was completed recording an increase of 17 polling stations in Budgam AC and 5 in Nagrota AC, thus raising the total number of Polling stations to 173 and 150 respectively.
The revision exercise involved intensive door-to-door verification and updating by the Booth Level Officers (BLOs), focused enrolment drives for young voters (18–19 years), women, Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), senior citizens and marginalised groups through multiple awareness campaigns under the SVEEP programme. The initiatives greatly helped in promoting the participation of eligible citizens besides emphasising the commitment of Election Commission towards inclusion of all eligible electors, facilitating smooth conduct of entire electoral process.
