Chennai: Municipal Administration Minister K N Nehru has said that official protocols have been initiated to conduct the long-pending urban local body election in the State.
As the election was not conducted for the past five years, administrative measures like scheduling and communal rotation have been initiated by the Municipal Administration department.
The Tamilnadu State Election Commission has asked voters in nine newly bifurcated districts, where local body polls are to be conducted soon and whose names were not part of the electoral rolls released in March 2021 for the Assembly poll, to register themselves with the authorities to be able to vote in the local body polls.
The SEC said that the ECI has released the revised list of voters roll in the month of March and the public should verify the same by looking out for their names. If the names are missing from the voters roll, the public should approach the local body offices seeking inclusion of their names and other corrections.
