News India Live, Digital Desk: If you are a voter in Jharkhand, then this news is very important for you. The State Election Commission (CEO Jharkhand) has launched a campaign to make the voter list ‘clean’, which has given sleepless nights to lakhs of people. According to latest news, approx 12 lakh voters Names can be removed from the list.
Yes, you read it right, 12 lakhs! This is not a small number. Let us know why the Commission has to take this big step and what role that ‘old file’ of 2003 is playing behind it.
What is the connection between ‘Parental Mapping’ and 2003?
Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Jharkhand K. Ravi Kumar said that the work of ‘Parental Mapping’ has been completed in the state. If you understand in simple language, the data of the existing voters is Voter List of 2003 (SIR List) Has been matched with.
The purpose of the Commission is to ensure whether the voter’s family and his roots (family tree) are correct or not. Let us tell you that in this process more than 1.60 crores Mapping of voters has been completed.
Which 12 lakh people will be blamed?
Now the question is, who are these 12 lakh people whose names are going to be deleted? Can the general public also get crushed in these? It is a matter of relief that this action is being taken mainly on three types of people, who asd (Absent, Shifted, Dead) is called:
- Absent: Those people who are not living at their address for a long time.
- Shifted: Those who have changed residence but the old name is still in the list.
- Deceased: Those who have passed away, but are still ‘alive’ in the voting list.
Apart from this, people whose names were appearing at more than one place (Duplicate Voters) will also be excluded from this list.
Why is this good news for fans (voters)?
The deletion of 12 lakh names may sound scary, but it is actually a corrective step. According to the CEO, if your name matches with the 2003 list or with your parents’ records, you will have to submit fewer documents related to Voter ID in future. The system will be transparent and fake voting will be curbed.
What to do now?
If you feel that your name may have appeared in this list by mistake, immediately contact your BLO or check your status by visiting the Election Commission website. Because when the Commission’s rod comes into force, those who delay may have to repent.
