Booth-wise ASD lists will be made available on CEOs/DEOs websites as well as was done in Bihar SIR

1. As a part of ongoing SIR in 12 states and UTs, respective Chief Electoral Officers (CEOs) will ensure the sharing of booth-wise lists of electors marked as Absent, Shifted or Dead/Duplicate (ASD),who could not be contacted even after 3 or more visits by Booth Level Officers (BLOs), with Booth Level Agents (BLAs) nominated by district presidents of political parties prior to the publication of the Draft Electoral Rolls as was done during Bihar SIR.
2. In view of this, nearly 5 lakh BLOs of all the 12 SIR-ongoing States/UTs, will hold booth- wise meetings with the more than 12 lakh BLAs of political parties and hand over the ASD lists to them.
3. This is to ascertain the exact status of each such elector on the ASD list, so that any error can be rectified before the publication of the draft Electoral Rolls itself. This step is in line with the ECI’s commitment that no eligible elector is left out.
4. Upon publication of the draft Electoral Roll, and as was done during the Bihar SIR also, booth-wise/assembly-wise/district-wise ASD lists in all 12 SIR ongoing States/UTs will be made available on the websites of the respective DEOs/DMs (district-wise) as well as on the CEO website and this will also be available in an EPIC-searchable mode.
