Chennai: With the Lok Sabha polls round the corner, the city corporation has started receiving Form 6 for inclusion of names in the voters’ list.
Those looking to make a correction in the list can also submit the necessary forms to their zonal offices.
Those who have any questions on the elections can contact the corporation helpline 1913, for information.
A dedicated helpline could be opened to deal with poll related complaints after the Lok SaÂbha election dates are notified, according to RipÂon Building sources.
While the city corporation has begun deputing its revenue staff for poll duty and also approached the Chennai collectorate to depute its revenue staff for election work in the assembly constituencies, work related to inclusion of new voters and verification of draft electoral rolls is picking up pace across the state as well, according to official sources.
The Tirunelveli district administration has nominated 16 officers to train those on poll duty. “We are gearing up for the polls and have already appointed booth level officers.
At present awareness campaigns are being conducted across the district to motivate more people to cast their vote,” said TiruÂnelveli district collector M. Karunakaran.
“The election work is on as per schedule and is being periodically revieÂwed,” said Kancheepuram district collector K BaskÂaran.
Other district collectors and election officers too have begun working similarly with the parliamentary elections now only months away.
