Chief Electoral Officer Bhanwarlal, on Wednesday, informed the press that an all-party meeting would be held on Thursday to discuss the arrangements for the by-polls to be held for 18 Assembly seats and one Parliament seat, on 12 June.
Bhanwarlal said that 8 recognised political parties have been invited for the meeting. However, the YSR Congress and the Lok Satta Party, which are yet to get the Election Commission's recognition, were officially not invited, although they were asked to submit their representations.
Further, a video-conference with the Collectors and Superintendants of Police of 11 election-bound districts will also be held on Thursday.
Bhanwarlal said that security arrangements, law and order, and the voters' list would be the main points on the agenda of the video-conference.
Bhanwarlal said that the Election Commission was making efforts to ensure that all eligible voters enroll themselves in the electoral rolls.
He said that several discrepancies were found in urban areas due to the frequent of migration of voters to different areas. To deal with the situation, enrolment in the voters' lists would be simplified in future, and all e-Seva Centres will be authorised to accept applications, he stated.
He said the program would be first implemented in Hyderabad on a pilot basis, and that later, it would be extended to all districts in the state. (INN)
