Overview

• Chief electoral officers will brief the Election Commission in New Delhi on ten implementation areas, from elector counts and past roll digitisation to polling-station rationalisation and staffing.
• Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, and senior officials are set to attend the session at the Commission’s training institute in Dwarka.
• West Bengal CEO Manoj Kumar Agarwal is holding internal reviews on September 6 and 8 to compile district-level readiness inputs ahead of the Delhi conference.
• In Bihar’s SIR, roughly 65 lakh names were excluded in the draft rolls published August 1, with claims and objections being disposed of before the final roll due on September 30.
• The nationwide plan stems from a June 24 order citing the Commission’s powers under the Representation of the People Act, even as court challenges and political opposition over documentation and potential exclusions continue.
