Delhi High Court seeks Election Commission stand on BLA undertaking

When grown-ups want to vote, their names go into a big list called the electoral roll.

Before elections, officials check the list to make sure it is correct.

In Delhi, the list is being updated in a process called a Special Intensive Revision.

The Election Commission told helpers called Booth Level Agents to sign a promise that they personally checked every detail.

A leader named Devender Yadav said this rule is not fair.

He explained that the law only allows government officers to check the list, not private helpers.

He thinks the Election Commission is giving a government job to regular people.

So he went to the Delhi High Court to complain.

The court decided it wants to hear what the Election Commission has to say.

The judge asked the Election Commission for its answer and will discuss the case again on August 12.
