In line with directives from the Chief Electoral Officer of Manipur, the District Administration of Kangpokpi convened a crucial meeting to discuss the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, rationalisation of polling stations, and the appointment of Booth Level Agents (BLAs).

The meeting, held at the DC Conference Hall, was chaired by Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer (DEO) Mahesh Chaudhari, IAS, and attended by representatives of national and state political parties, including the INC, BJP, and Kuki People’s Alliance (KPA), as well as senior district officials.

The DEO emphasized the importance of SIR in ensuring accurate and transparent electoral rolls, highlighting the Election Commission of India’s commitment to fair elections. He urged political parties to actively participate in the process and help raise awareness among the electorate.

During the session, parties were invited to offer suggestions on acceptable documents for voter declaration and other election-related concerns. The meeting also focused on the need to appoint Booth Level Agents across the three Assembly constituencies—50-Kangpokpi, 51-Saitu, and 46-Saikul—to strengthen voter verification and support.

Len Singsit, MCS, Election Officer In-Charge, briefed attendees on the rationalisation of polling stations. He noted that five polling stations under the 51-Saitu Assembly Constituency currently have more than 1,200 voters each, making them candidates for rationalisation to ensure better voter management.

The DEO assured that all suggestions would be duly considered in consultation with the State Chief Electoral Officer. Political parties wishing to submit further inputs regarding the revision process were urged to do so before the end of August.

The meeting was also attended by N. Shokhongam Baite (ADM), Lamminlal Simte (AC to DC), and various SDOs.

This engagement marks a proactive step by the Kangpokpi administration toward transparent, inclusive, and efficient electoral practices in the district.
