BLO Verification: Urgent Directive for BLOs! 2002 Voter List Verification is Mandatory, Know the Complete Process

BLO Verification: The Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued a highly urgent verification notice for all Booth Level Officers (BLOs). According to this new directive, all BLOs must confirm whether their own name, or the name of their father or mother, was registered in the 2002 voter list. This task is extremely time-sensitive, and all information must be submitted in a specific format by today, i.e., 27th October 2025.

Detailed Instructions for Verification

The Commission has provided a specific format or proforma for this verification process, which every BLO must complete. The primary objective of this process is to establish a connection between the current BLOs and the 2002 voter roll. The required information is discussed step-by-step below.

1. Information as per the Current Voter List (2025)

First, every BLO must provide some basic details as per their current voter list, i.e., the 2025 list. This information includes:

• Assigned Part Number: The part number where the BLO has been assigned duty.
• BLO’s Name: The full name of the officer currently on duty.
• Part Number in 2025 List: The part number where the BLO’s own name is listed in the new voter roll.
• Serial Number in 2025 List: The serial number of the BLO’s name in that part.
• EPIC Number (2025): The current EPIC number of the BLO.

2. If Name is Found in the 2002 Voter List

If a BLO finds their own name in the 2002 voter list, they will need to fill in some additional details:

• Part Number in 2002 List: The part where the name was listed in 2002.
• Serial Number in 2002 List: The serial number of the name in that list.
• EPIC Number (2002): The EPIC number as per the 2002 list, if available.

What to Do If the Name is Not Found?

In many cases, a currently serving BLO may not find their name on the 2002 voter list due to their age at the time. The Commission has provided an alternative for such scenarios.

Provide Father’s or Mother’s Details

If the BLO’s own name is not on the 2002 list, they must provide the details of their father or mother (any one) if their name was on that list. The following information will be required:

• Father’s/Mother’s Part Number (2002): The part number where their name was listed in 2002.
• Father’s/Mother’s Serial Number (2002): The serial number in that part.
• Father’s/Mother’s EPIC Number (2002): Their EPIC number as per the 2002 list.

If No One’s Name is on the List

If a situation arises where the BLO’s name (due to age) and their parents’ names are also not found on the 2002 list for some reason, there is a special provision. The reason must be mentioned in a specific column in the format. In this case, one can write “Not Found”. However, different BDO offices might issue different instructions, so it is advisable to consult with the local authorities.

Final Step

All this information must be correctly filled and sent to the Election Commission by 4 PM today, 27th October 2025. Based on this data, the Commission will prepare two separate lists: Format ‘A’ (for those whose names are on the 2002 list) and Format ‘B’ (for those whose names are not). Therefore, all BLOs have been directed to complete this task with the utmost priority.
