Voter ID online verification last date extended

Thelast date for Voter ID online verification has been extended by the Electioncommission of India (ECI). The ECI has extended the last date for Voter ID onlineverification till 18th November.

According to sources in ECI, it has been observed that the progress of the Electors Verification Programme (EVP) is very slow and a large number of voters have not yet been verified. There are also a large number of forms available for inclusion or deletion or correction, which must be dealt with before the draft is published.

The ECIhas decided to extend the termination of EVP by keeping the situation in mindand later changing the schedule of Special Summary Revision (SSR), 2020. Due togeneral elections in the Delhi Assembly in the first quarter of next year, aseparate schedule has been set for Delhi's EVP and SSR.
