Ludhiana: The remaining date for eligible persons to register as citizens ended on April 19, and now the general up to date electoral rolls will probably be released once the nomination process for the approaching Lok Sabha elections is over on April 29. However, as in keeping with figures recorded till January 31, the total selection of citizens in 14 constituencies of Ludhiana district stands at 25,16,885, which has registered an build up of one,76,546 (7.54%) in comparison to 2014, when the total selection of citizens in the district used to be 23,40,339.
Speaking to TOI, deputy commissioner-cum-district election officer Pradeep Agrawal mentioned: “I think the simplification of the registration process, and making it online has contributed a lot to the rise in voter base. Earlier, other folks needed to go through several complexities, like learning a BLO (block-level officer), manually filling up paperwork, and then submitting them, which is no more the case now. Another explanation why for the rise can be attributed to the greater awareness level among electorate.”
