Kolkata, Oct 25
The office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), West Bengal, will introduce a two-tier daily electoral administration system in the state immediately after the notification for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in the state is issued.
After the notification is issued, an officer in the rank of additional CEO will hold daily interactions with the district magistrates, who are also the district electoral officers, reviewing the daily progress in the revision exercise in the respective districts.
Similarly, a couple of officers in the rank of joint CEO will hold interactions with the electoral registration officers (EROs) reviewing the progress of the revision exercise in areas under the jurisdiction of the EROs.
An insider from the CEO’s office said that this two-tier electoral administration is aimed at bridging any communication gap between the CEO’s office and the district-level electoral administration system.
