Description:
Addressing the gathering, Ronnieson Wahlang, MCS, Additional Deputy Commissioner in charge of the Election Branch, acknowledged the collective efforts of the district administration, election officials, political parties and traditional community institutions in ensuring the successful completion of the revision exercise.
He said the publication of the electoral roll for all the Assembly constituencies under East Khasi Hills district and two constituencies under Sohra Civil Sub-Division reflected the cooperation and coordination among the various stakeholders involved in the process.
Wahlang expressed particular appreciation for the role played by Dorbar Shnongs, noting that their support had helped election authorities reach eligible citizens and ensure that no eligible elector was left out of the electoral roll. He highlighted the importance of these traditional institutions in strengthening cooperation between the community and the administration.
He also commended the Booth Level Officers (BLOs) and their supervisors for their extensive house-to-house visits and fieldwork, describing them as the unsung heroes of the SIR exercise. Recalling the difficulties encountered during the process, he said the BLOs had faced instances of non-cooperation and reluctance from residents during verification visits.
He also acknowledged the contribution of Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), the Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), who undertook additional responsibilities alongside their regular departmental duties. He said the hearing and verification process required considerable effort, with officials working beyond normal office hours to ensure that eligible electors were included in the electoral roll.
He further expressed his appreciation for the staff of the Deputy Commissioner's Office, who's behind-the-scenes efforts contributed to the successful completion of the exercise
