7. Lists of electors who are probably deceased, permanently shifted, have enrolled at multiple places or have not returned the EFs even after multiple visits of BLOs, are now also being shared with District Presidents of political parties/1.5 lakh Booth Level Agents (BLAs) appointed by them, to ascertain the exact status of each such elector before 25.07.2025. As per the SIR order, each of the more than 1.5 lakh BLAs can submit up to 50 forms a day after certifying them. This step is in line with the ECI’s commitment that no eligible elector is left out.
