At the office of the CEO, Joint Chief Electoral Officer (JCEO) Lokeshor Brahmacharimayum briefed media persons on the publication of the draft photo electoral rolls, and said that a meeting with representatives of all the recognised National and State political parties was held today.

During the meeting, the political parties were requested to appoint Booth Level Agents (BLAs) for each polling station to coordinate with the BLOs during the revision period, he said.

Physical application forms may be submitted to the EROs, AEROs and BLOs.

Electors may also fill forms online through Voter Service Portal (voters.eci.gov.in) of ECINET App.

Such applications will be signed electronically by the electors based on Aadhaar enabled E-sign.
