NMMC to hold 179 voter camps before final SIR deadline
Every time a country holds an election, it needs a list of people who can vote.
This list is called the electoral roll.
The city of Navi Mumbai in India is updating its list right now.
To keep their names on the list, voters must fill out a special form called an Enumeration Form and give it to an election official.
The last day to do this is August 17, and officials say there will be no more extensions.
So the city is setting up 179 special camps this weekend, on August 8 and 9, where people can get help with their forms.
There are also special evening camps that stay open until 10 pm so working adults can go after their jobs.
If someone forgets to submit the form, their name will be taken off the draft voter list.
Then they would have to register all over again using another form.
The goal is to make sure everyone who wants to vote can stay on the list.
NMMC will hold 179 special voter enumeration camps across Navi Mumbai on August 8-9 ahead of the final August 17 SIR deadline.
Election officials say the August 17 extension for submitting Enumeration Forms is the last one.
Voters who fail to submit forms to their Booth Level Officers by August 17 will have their names removed from the draft electoral roll.
Evening SIR camps will run from 7 pm to 10 pm in polling booths of the 150 Airoli Assembly constituency to help working residents.
In the 150 Airoli constituency, 4,71,597 forms were distributed and 2,36,001 submitted; in 151 Belapur, 4,14,555 distributed and 2,27,950 submitted.

“The deadline for submitting Enumeration Forms has been extended till August 17, and citizens should treat this as the final opportunity. Instead of waiting until the last day, voters should visit the special camps being organised this weekend and submit their forms to their respective BLOs to ensure their names remain on the electoral roll.”
