Palakkad: A special enrollment drive will be conducted in all 12 assembly constituencies of Palakkad district from October 15 to 31 to include those eligible but not named in the voter list. Officials informed that dedicated digital help desks will be operational on all days.

Special digital help desks will be functioning at all village offices in the district. Also, Booth Level Officers (BLO) will conduct house visits to ensure that the names of who are permanent residents of their respective booth limits and have completed 18 years of age are included in the voter list. The application process for inclusion in the electoral roll has been simplified. As the additional declaration form is omitted, only statutory Form 6 is required to be submitted online.

Electoral Literacy Clubs will be formed in the educational institutions of the district to educate the students about the electoral process. The aim of the special drive is to include all the eligible people who have completed 18 years of age in the voter list and the authorities requested everyone to take advantage of this opportunity.
