Wardwise voter list to be posted on GBA portal
Rao said to enable voters to search their names in the ward-wise voters list online by EPIC number or their name, the final voters list will be uploaded in PDF version on the GBA official website https://gba.karnataka.gov.in/home. The public can check and confirm whether their names have been included in the voters’ list.
The chief commissioner said that registered and recognised political parties are requested to appoint one Booth Level Agent (BLA) for each polling booth in each ward and cooperate with the polling booth officials in the registration of all eligible voters. “If a name is not included in the final voter list, the name can be added to the supplementary lists. All necessary steps have been taken to include all eligible voters in the voter list and to prepare an error-free voter list,” said Rao.
