The DEO said that in order to vote in any election, it is mandatory for the name of the voter to be registered in the voter list of the respective polling station, however, in the past few elections, such cases have come to light that some voters go to vote with their Photo Voter Identity Card (EPIC), but due to their name not being registered in the voter list, they are deprived of voting.
To ensure that no such incident takes place in the upcoming assembly elections 2024, a 'Naam Chacho' campaign is being conducted through social media to make voters aware. After checking the name in the published draft voter list, if the voter is satisfied, then he will take a selfie with the voter list or voter card and post it on social media with the hashtag 'Naam Chacho', so that other people can also get inspired. If any discrepancy is found in the voter list, then fill the form according to the discrepancy and submit it online or offline. The Deputy Commissioner has also requested the representatives of all political parties to join this campaign.
