LIKABALI : A training programme on the Electoral Roll Management System (ERONET) and the Booth Level Officer (BLO) App was conducted at the Deputy Commissioner’s Conference Hall in Likabali on Thursday as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen electoral services and improve electoral roll management.

The programme was attended by Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), BLO Supervisors, Booth Level Officers, Information Technology (IT) personnel, election dealing assistants and other officials associated with election management.

Addressing the participants, Assistant Commissioner (Election) Jannes Mary Tayeng underscored the importance of effective utilisation of ERONET and the BLO App in maintaining accurate electoral records and ensuring transparent delivery of electoral services. He stressed that continuous training and technical upgradation are essential for the smooth conduct of election-related activities.

The training was conducted virtually through video conferencing by State-level Master Trainers Dr Sandip Banerjee and Sougata Maity. The sessions focused on enhancing the technical knowledge and operational efficiency of officials engaged in electoral roll management and related processes.

Participants were also encouraged to raise their concerns during interactive discussions to facilitate effective resolution by the master trainers.
