The Election Commission has extended the deadline for carrying out inclusions or corrections to the electoral rolls till November 30. Previously, the deadline was November 18.
The Commission took the decision after reviewing the progress of the Electors’ Verification Programme (EVP).
It observed that a large number of application forms for inclusion/deletion/correction were yet to be disposed of before draft publication.
