Chief Electoral Officer Rajesh Lakhoni told that the final electoral roll for all the districts would be published on Wednesday. Mr. Lakhoni was in Madurai in connection with imparting a one-day training programme for District Election Officers and Superintendents of Police from eight southern districts.
Rajesh Lakhoni while speaking to the media said, 82,000 electronic voting machines to be used would be checked by engineers from Bharat Electronics from February 1 to March 10. Most of the machines will be brought from Bihar, Gujarat and Maharashtra. District Collectors have been asked to visit colleges and encourage students to make online application for inclusion of their names in the electoral rolls.
The EC is also planning to set up a mobile-based complaint monitoring system. The official who receives the SMS would have to respond to the complainant in 24 hours, failing which the SMS would automatically be forwarded to the next higher official.
