According to a press release, to facilitate the public to submit their forms for addition/deletion and alteration of their names and addresses in the voter list, all the 1,411 designated locations across the district were opened.

The special drive was to ensure that no eligible voters’ name was missing in the list.

The officials also checked the filled-in applications at random by conducting door-to-door verification at Rajapalayam, Srivilliputtur, Sivakasi, Sattur, Virudhunagar, Aruppukottai and Tiruchuzhi.

Many teachers were also involved in the electoral work.
