EC Acts Swiftly: Halts Harassment in Voter Hearings, Relief for 85+ & BLO App Glitch Victims

• Election Commission (EC) took immediate decisions to reduce harassment during voter hearings after the first day.
• Voters on the 2002 list but missing from the BLO app will no longer be called for hearings due to technical issues.
• EC issued directives to District Magistrates and District Election Officers regarding these changes.
• For voters aged 85 years or above, hearings will now be conducted at their homes to ease difficulties.
• These swift actions followed complaints about unnecessary harassment and difficulties faced by senior citizens.

Why It Matters: Election Commission streamlines voter hearings, providing relief to specific groups and addressing technical glitches.
