Magistrate feels that the services of such additional officers are essentially
required for smooth preparation of Electoral Rolls.
4. The published Electoral Roll of the Assembly Constituency prepared
by the Election Commission of India during January 2015 as the qualifying
date and currently in force shall be the basis for preparation of preliminary
Ward wise Electoral Rolls of the Corporation. .
5. Preliminary Electoral Roll for each Ward shall be prepared in Form
No.V prescribed under Rule 5 of the Odisha Municipal Corporation (Division
of City into Wards, Reservation of Seats and Conduct of Election) Rules, 2003
and be published in accordance with Rule 8 of the said Rules (Sample copy of
form enclosed). The Election Officer shall publish a notice in Form No. VI
specifying the mode in which and the time within which claims and objections
are to be preferred and the date on which and the place at which he will begin
to sit for their disposal. It should be ensured that the copies of Preliminary

shall be kept open for inspection by the public for a period indicated in the
programme drawn up by the Commission vide Schedule I. An Assistant/Clerk
may be entrusted to help the public in inspection of the Preliminary Electoral

format in Odia is enclosed in Appendix-A of this schedule which may be
published in one newspaper.
7.
Wide publicity should be given in each Ward regarding preparation
of Electoral Roll so as to create sufficient awareness among the voters.
8 . (i) Any person whose name is already enrolled in Assembly Electoral
Roll, 2015 but does not figure in the preliminary Ward wise Electoral Roll or is
entered in an incorrect place or with incorrect particulars on the preliminary
Electoral Roll and who objects to the inclusion of his own name or the name of

by way of objection or otherwise that a certain person's name finds place in
more than one Urban Local Body (ULB) in the Assembly Electoral Roll
published in 2013, an enquiry shall be conducted to find out his/her ordinary

ULB, then under no circumstances the said voter's name shall be allowed to be
included in the Electoral Roll of any other ULB even if his/her name occurs in
the relevant extract of the Assembly Electoral Roll.
Similarly, an elector who is an elected representative in a Panchayati
Raj Institution (PRI) and continuing as such and his/her name finds place in
the Electoral Roll of Urban Local Body, then under no circumstances the said
voter's name shall be allowed to be included in the Electoral Roll of the ULB
even if his/her name occurs in the relevant extract of the Assembly Electoral
Roll.
During the process of preparation of Electoral Roll if it is brought to the
notice of the Election Officer by way of an objection or otherwise that a voter's
name is registered both in the Urban area and Rural area in Assembly
Electoral Roll, 2015 then the ordinary residence of that voter is to be
established by way of an enquiry for the period under consideration, i.e.
residing for not less than 185 days and after his bona fide residence is
established his/her name shall be deleted from the Electoral Roll of other
ULB/G.P.
In all such cases the Election Officer concerned should send his order to
delete the name o f that voter to the Collector 8b District Magistrate of the
concerned District with a request to delete the name of the voter from the
Electoral Roll either from the Rural area or Urban area. The Collector and
District Magistrate pertaining to the ULB and GP after getting such
intimation will take prompt steps for deletion of the name of the voter
from the Electoral Roll and will attest it under his hand and seal on the
relevant page of the voter list after striking out the name.
11. After disposal of claims and objections filed as per paragraph 7(i) 8b
(ii) above by the Election Officer U/R 12, the Election Officer shall publish

entered in Form No.VA (Addition list) appended to this Schedule. All entries
made in Form N o.VI A shall be checked by an officer senior or equivalent to
the Election Officer. The District Magistrate should randomly test check 5% of
such additions made by the Election Officer and shall append a certificate to
that effect on the additional list indicating the detailed particulars of the entries
checked in each Ward. The Commission has prescribed a model format
Appendix B of this schedule to be used for final publication o f Electoral Roll.
13. The Final Electoral Roll shall be authenticated under signature of the
Election Office concerned with date and official stamp as follows on the last
page.
"Certified that the Electoral Roll of Ward No.
of Corporation
has been duly published as per the provisions of Odisha Municipal Corporation
(Division of City into Wards, Reservation of Seats and Conduct of Election)
Rules, 2003 o n ________ ."
Election Officer
Apart from appending the certificate at the last page, each page of
the Electoral Roll is to be authenticated with the signature of the
Election Officer along with the Official Seal.
14.

apply to the Election Office for correction of the existing entry in the final
Electoral Roll U/R 16(2) of the Odisha Municipal Corporation (Division of City
into Wards, Reservation of Seats and Conduct of Election) Rules and if the
Election Officer is satisfied that the entry relates to the applicant and is
erroneous or defective in any particular he may correct the roll accordingly and
publish such correction in the same manner as the final Roll.
15. After final publication of the Electoral Roll a photo copy of the
manuscript shall be sent by the Election Officer to the District Magistrate
concerned before printing o f the Electoral Roll is taken up.
16. After final publication of the Electoral Roll, a draft list of polling
stations/ booths showing the polling area it covers and serial No. of voters who
are allotted to such polling station/ booths should be published in the form
prescribed by the Commission by posting the same in the office of the
Corporation/ Election Officer and in a conspicuous place in the Ward. The
Election Officer should have worked out the details for preparing such list of
polling stations/booths before the final publication of Electoral Roll so that it
will be convenient for him to publish the draft list of polling station promptly. A
model format in Odia for draft publication of polling stations has been
appended in Appendix C. Public objections, if any, on the location of polling
stations may be received within three days from the draft publication of list of
polling stations.

representative of recognised Political Parties (who may be noticed earlier). After

views of the Political Parties, the Election Officer shall draw a list of polling
stations and submit the same to the Commission for approval.
