#Gram pradhan election date up verification#

The total number of BLOs who have been posted on duty is now touching 80,000. Among the other steps taken by the SEC (for the first time) include posting of one block level officer (BLO) to cover 1500 voters (earlier 1 BLO used to cover 3000 voters). The SEC has also established centralised server (to store the enormous data), and has also opted for cloud computing, which could be used in case of any technical emergency.

The state election commission also informed that voters, who are still not registered with the commission, would be able to register themselves online with the official website of the state election commission from July 1 to July 13, and after verification by the SDM, the name would be eventually enrolled in the voters’ list. The four districts, where it could not start are: Gautam Buddh Nagar, Moradabad, Sambhal and Gonda, as delimitation and re-organisation could be held in these districts,” said the state election commissioner, and further added that revision of voters roll in these district would be done as per 2010 data, while in rest of the districts, revision of the electoral roll would be based on delimitation.

“Revision of electoral rolls in 71 districts of the state has started. In the 2015 three-level panchayat elections, close to 11 crore voters would be electing as many as 8,84,410 representatives, which include members of gram panchayats, kshetra panchayats and zila panchayats and gram pradhan.

“Apart from this, there would be no change/modification/alteration of boundary of a panchayat or any urban local body,” the SEC said, and added that even creation of new panchayat or urban local body has also been clearly disallowed. Elaborating further, Agarwal said that from now onwards till the completion of the election process, all transfers of district magistrates, sub-divisional magistrates and booth level officers have been effectively frozen. Elections would be held for 59,164 Gram Pradhan posts, 74,3297 gram panchayat member posts, 78,075 members of kshetra panchayats posts and 3,134 zila panchayat member posts. In other words, political parties would not be able to field their candidates in this election which is being termed as the semi-final of the 2017 assembly elections by the political pundits. State election commissioner SK Agarwal categorically stated that the polls would be completely an apolitical affair. However, the notification for the polls, which is scheduled to be held later this year, will be announced later. Interestingly, the date of the announcement made by the state election commission coincides with the completion of one year of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre. LUCKNOW: Blowing the bugle for the coming panchayat polls in the politically crucial and versatile state of Uttar Pradesh, the state election commission (SEC) on Sunday announced the itinerary for the comprehensive revision of the electoral rolls.
