Final draft of revised electoral rolls to be published on Nov 25 | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 11: The on-going exercise of revision of the electoral rolls for the maiden assembly elections in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is likely to be completed on November 25. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has already set a new deadline of November 25 for the final date for publication of electoral rolls in Jammu and Kashmir. To provide opportunity to the youngsters attaining the age of 18 years on October 1 or earlier the deadline was extended from October 31 to November 25. Earlier, the poll panel had given a timeline of October 31 for the publication of the finalised electoral rolls in J&K, where the special summary revision is being undertaken after a gap of three years and the first such exercise after the boundaries of Assembly seats were redrawn in the delimitation exercise. According to the rescheduled timeline issued by the Election Commission, an integrated draft electoral roll will be published on September 15. The period for filing claims and objections has been set between September 15 to October 25 followed by disposal of claims and objections on November 10. After completion of the exercise of the Delimitation Commission in May this year, the Election Commission of India has started the process of revising existing electoral rolls in J&K before the announcement of the assembly elections. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha had assured that the assembly elections will take place in Jammu and Kashmir after the completion of the ongoing revision of electoral rolls. However, political observers are of the opinion that the much-awaited polls are likely to be deferred to next year after the end of the harsh winter in the Kashmir Valley and other mountainous regions of Jammu province. |
