Chief Minister Hemant Soren has taken a big initiative towards making the election process transparent and error-free in Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand. CM has set an example for the common citizens by filling their voter verification form under the Special Summary Revision Campaign (SSR). On this occasion, the Chief Minister has appealed to the people of the state that to ensure their participation in this great festival of democracy, all the citizens must check their names in the voter list and fill the form for necessary corrections or new registration.
Why is SIR campaign important?
SIR campaign is primarily a systematic effort to update the voter list. As per the instructions of the Election Commission, this campaign is conducted every year so that new young voters can get their names added and those whose details are incorrect can get them corrected. Chief Minister Hemant Soren said that an informed voter is the foundation of a strong democracy. He clarified that the verification of voter list is not just a legal formality but it is the right of every citizen to vote in the upcoming elections to elect the government of their choice.
How to verify yourself sitting at home?
The Chief Minister called upon the youth of the State and especially the first-time voters to use the online medium. Voters can now fill their verification form sitting at home through the Election Commission portal or mobile app. The CM has instructed the administration that no eligible citizen should be left out during this campaign and the Booth Level Officer (BLO) should cooperate with full honesty in the verification work of the people. He urged every person of the state to come forward and be a part of this process and fulfill their responsibility.
