Voters can track applications
The election commission has launched a voter friendly ‘track your application’ facility for the first time to enable applicants to know the status of their application for inclusion in the voters’ list.
It also helps in making corrections in the application, even after submitting the claims. Further, the commission has received three lakh applications over its fixed target during the ongoing summary revision of electoral rolls 2012.
The ECI has received 18 lakh applications with just four days left for the deadline to submit the forms seeking inclusion of rolls.
“The applicants can just log in to commission’s website (www.elections.tn.gov.in) and check the status of their applications under the heading ‘Track your application’.
They have to enter the unique identification number provided on the application and get to know its status,” chief electoral officer Praveen Kumar told DC.
The CEO said applicants could also make corrections in the claims. “A new feature enables an applicant to carry out corrections if any entries in the application are found to be incorrect, while checking the status. They can approach the local election officials with the print out of the claim and rectify the mistakes,” he said. “This will help issuing error free electoral card.”
The commission is also in high spirits after achieving the set target for this summary revision 2012 exercise. “We had received 15 lakh applications before the earlier deadline (October 31), which rose to 16 lakhs with one lakh applications trooping on the last date,” Mr Kumar said.
