Uttarakhand CEO urges voters not to panic over SIR notices

Sometimes adults worry about their name in the list of people allowed to vote.

Election officials check this voting list to make sure it is correct.

When they see a mistake, they send a notice to the voter.

Many voters got worried when these notices arrived.

A top election officer named B V R C Purushottam told everyone not to panic.

He explained that getting a notice is a normal part of checking the list.

If a name or address has an error, voters can fix it by giving some documents to a local election helper called a booth level officer.

Even the officer himself got a notice about his name and fixed it.

So the notices are nothing to be scared about—they help keep the voting list correct.
