Kolkata: As the training process of the booth level officers (BLO) starts in Kolkata, the BLOs are confused over the missing EPIC numbers in the 2002 voters' list.
While mapping the voters' list, a number of BLOs came across names without any EPIC number accompanying them.
These names have a serial number, gender of the voter, and the voter's father or mother's name.
The column with the EPIC number is blank, which raises confusion among the BLOs. The BLOs, who mapped the 2002 voters' list, filled the form "Annexure I" after the mapping process was complete.
"When we asked the ECI about the missing EPIC numbers, they first asked us to match the details with the latest electoral roll. In case the name and other details of the voter matched on both lists, we were asked to keep the space for the EPIC number blank in the Annexure I," said a BLO in south Kolkata.
