Political parties should supplement the role of officials in enrolling eligible people as voters, said A.C. Mohandass, observer for the process of electoral rolls revision in Coimbatore, at a meeting held in Coimbatore on Monday.
Suggestion
A release said that he had suggested that just as political parties nominated agents during elections, they should do so now for every booth to include as voters the eligible people who had been left out.
He was speaking at the meeting organised at the Collectorate with representatives of political parties and officials to discuss issues related to inclusion, deletion and correction process in the voters' list.
Coimbatore District Collector M. Karunakaran presided over the meeting.

Applications submitted in bulk would not be accepted.
