The inclusion of Aadhaar identification numbers in the voter list is being implemented strictly in a drive, which is aimed at eliminating bogus voting and impersonation.

Keeping in view the special significance of the drive, Nellore district administration officials is giving special thrust to Aadhaar seeding of all voters in the district. According to official records, there are nearly 22.78 lakh voters spread over the 10 Assembly constituencies.

Officials are of the view that Aadhaar seeding should be given greater priority considering that the Election Commission of India is particular about the drive to make the polling process transparent and error-free.

Going by the final electoral rolls published after the special summary revision in January, 2015, there are 11.26 men and 11.51 women in Nellore district. “All should cooperate with officials in making the drive successful. It will make the polling process easier and more transparent,” District Collector M. Janaki said.

Specific instructions have also been issued to officials to ensure that voters have fool-proof identification like Aadhaar number.

All should cooperate with officials in making the drive successful. It will make the polling process easier and more transparent.

M. Janaki,

District Collector
