YUPIA : Papum Pare District Election Officer (DEO) Lobsang Tsering has appealed to all electors to extend full cooperation to Booth Level Officers (BLOs) during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR)-2026 exercise to ensure the preparation of a clean, accurate and error-free electoral roll.
The appeal comes amid several challenges being faced by BLOs during house-to-house verification and collection of Enumeration Forms (EFs) across the district.
According to the DEO, many electors could not be contacted at their registered addresses during field verification, while in several cases, current occupants were unable to provide information about the enrolled electors. He also pointed out instances of duplicate enrolment, where individuals continued to retain their names in their native places while enrolling at their present places of residence, which is not permissible under electoral laws.
Tsering further said that many registered mobile numbers were found to be non-functional or switched off, making it difficult for election officials to contact electors for verification and collection of Enumeration Forms.
He urged all electors to promptly submit their Enumeration Forms, update their residential details, ensure enrolment only at their place of ordinary residence and provide functional mobile numbers during the revision process. Electors who have not yet been contacted have also been advised to approach their respective BLOs without delay.
The DEO further appealed to citizens to inform BLOs about any change of residence, migration or corrections required in their electoral particulars to facilitate an accurate and updated electoral roll.
For public convenience, SIR Control Rooms have been established at the offices of the Assistant Commissioners in Itanagar and Naharlagun to assist electors in filling Enumeration Forms, clarify doubts and resolve issues related to the revision exercise.
Tsering emphasised that public cooperation is essential for maintaining a transparent, accurate and updated electoral roll. He informed that the last date for submission of Enumeration Forms is July 16.
