Process to Conclude on July 29:

The extensive door-to-door enumeration drive and the subsequent data digitization phase are scheduled to wrap up on July 29, 2026. To ensure the absolute accuracy and integrity of the final electoral roll, the district administration has appealed to the general public to fully cooperate with the BLOs when they visit households for verification.

Special OOD Facility for BLOs on ‘Kartavya’ App:

To support the welfare and on-field efficiency of the BLOs engaged in extensive field duty, the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms (e-Governance) has enabled an OOD (On Other Duty) facility within the newly launched ‘Kartavya’ (KAAMS) mobile application. With this technological integration, teachers and government staffers deployed as BLOs no longer need to physically report to their regular base offices or schools just to log their mandatory biometric attendance. They can conveniently record their attendance on the field using the geo-fenced OOD option available inside the Kartavya app. The Chief Electoral Officer has directed all eligible BLOs to leverage this system, DC Swaroopa T.K. added in the release.
