Meeting Led by ADC Sahil Gupta Under the Guidance of District Election Officer and DC Vikram Singh

Faridabad:In preparation for the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Faridabad (MCF) elections, an initial draft of the voter list will be displayed at all booths in urban areas on 17 December. This will allow voters in these wards to check their names, addresses, photos, and other details. The progress of voter list preparation was reviewed on Friday in a meeting held at the Mini Secretariat led by District Commissioner (DC) Vikram Singh and ADC Sahil Gupta. The meeting included Election Registration Officers (EROs) and revising officers associated with the MCF elections.

ADC Gupta stated that citizens whose names are not in the municipal voter list, or who wish to make corrections (such as names of deceased voters, voters who have moved away, or those who are registered in multiple areas), will be able to submit claims and objections from 17 December to 23 December 2024. These will be addressed by DC Vikram Singh by 3 January 2025, after which the final ward-wise voter list for MCF elections will be published on 6 January 2025.
