New feature to identify duplicate voters launched on BLO apps in West Bengal

Key Highlights

• “There are many duplicate electors in many places across the State.
• To identify them, the officials have added this feature to the BLO app.
• Though names and the father’s name of two voters can be an exact match, the other specifications cannot be the same, like address and date of birth.
• Cross-checking this information will help BLOs identify the duplicate voters,” Swapan Mondal, general secretary of Votekormi and BLO Aikya Mancha, West Bengal State Committee, told The Hindu on Monday.
• BLOs further added that many of them have been sent lists of voters with the same names to recheck details and verify if any of them are duplicate voters.
