All the updates have to be done through Form-8 submitted by the electors, he said, adding that District Electoral Officers should also take up campaigns along with EROs to create awareness among voters about the need to update information. The CEO asked the ERO’s to conduct meetings of political party every week and hand over the list of claims and objections received during the week under proper acknowledgement to them.
