Party urges EC to share booth-wise lists of electors issued notices in 'no mapping' category
THE ruling DMK on Wednesday submitted a memorandum to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Tamil Nadu, raising concerns over the handling of electors who have been marked as 'No Mapping' in the draft electoral rolls released following the enumeration phase of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision exercise.
In a statement on Monday, the CEO's office had announced that 12.43 lakh people who have been marked under the 'No Mapping' category are being issued notices for verification.
A key concern raised in the representation from DMK's organising secretary R S Bharathi, submitted by the party's legal wing secretary and MP N R Elango, is the electoral registration officers (EROs) and assistant electoral registration officers (AEROs) insisting on additional documents apart from Aadhaar for elector verification.
