Revision of electoral roll to kick off in Kishtwar

Kishtwar District Panchayat Election Officer-Deputy Commissioner Rajesh Kumar Shavan on Monday convened a meeting to discuss the preparations for Special Summary Revision of the Panchayat Electoral Roll in District Kishtwar.

This revision, with January 1, 2025 as the qualifying date, aims to come up with an accurate and up-to-date Panchayat electoral roll to support a transparent and fair democratic process at the grassroots level.

The DPEO discussed key stages of the revision process, which include adding new eligible voters, updating voter information, and removing ineligible entries. Officers were directed to prioritise accuracy and efficiency in verifying entries and to conduct outreach to inform citizens of their right to participate in the democratic process.

The meeting emphasised the importance of engaging local communities and ensuring that eligible residents, especially those newly eligible, are registered and able to exercise their voting rights.
