The deadline for enrolling your name in the voter list in Bengaluru has been extended to January 12, 2018.

After the BBMP published a draft electoral roll in November, it set a deadline of December 29, 2017 to submit objections.

“Since many people have sought an extension of the deadline to help more voters register, we have extended the deadline,” said BBMP Commissioner N. Manjunath Prasad.

Since the day the draft roll was published and opened for objections on November 2, a total of 95,219 persons have applied to include their names in the voter list while, 25,483 persons have submitted objections. This is apart from 16,206 persons bringing to the notice of BBMP that their names have been missing from the draft list.

Mr. Prasad said that despite voters having Epic identity cards, there are chances of their names missing from the draft list. He advised all voters to check their name in the draft list, which is available online at www.ceokarnataka.kar.nic.in and in all BBMP ward offices.

Apart from doing it online, voters can approach their ward officers, Bangalore One offices and all BBMP offices to submit objections or include their names in the list.
