IMP POINTS - Electoral ROLL, MCC , EPIC
1. I have earlier requested that each SDO, each BDO and each ERO shall condcut a random check of atleast electoral rolls of 3 parts regarding disposal of FORM6,FOrm 7, FORm 8, decision of ERO/ AERO, manuscript, data entry, appearance in final computer print out / Supplement and total numbers and send me a confirmation. [ report still awaited} SDOs are requested to coordinarte and submit a confirmation / compliance from all ERO/ BDO under him by 20th March 2009.
2. I have seen that good coverage could be made in EPIC campaign in most of the ACs. Please ensure that data is merged and EPIC prepared and distributed to all by 25tth MArch, 2009. Keep in mind that all those voters who have been photographed in this campaign / previous campaign will not be able to vote on the day of poll if they do not get their EPIC. In such cases they would be a potential law and order problem, potential attraction of observer and media and dislocation of poll process on the day of poll. Please ensure that all EPIC are distributed.
3. I have visited few sub-divisions recently. on the way I have seen that a good nos. of wall writing has been painted (mostly private). PLease be sure that even in such cases appropriate procedure is followed and action taken. PLesae ask MCC Squad to not to hesitagte or show any linenancy owards any one who is violates the code. Issue notices and lodge FIR in case of non compliance. SDOs to ensure that AROs are activated to the fullest for ERO/ EPIC/ continuos updation and Model code of conduct.
4. MCC squads has to be active suo moto. DOnot depend only on complaints. In other district huge nos. of FIR has been lodged. In our district NIL FIRs.?? there might be reason that in our district political parties / candidatres are concerned about MCC or they are complying notices- in such cases it is appreciable for both - administration and political parties / candidates. But if we are complacent / non bothered or have closed our eyes and ears or hesitant or biased `--then there is problem for all of us. ECI is watching and ACTING TOUGH ALSO. SDOS/ ROs/ EROS/ AROs and BDOs please be active and fast.
5.I am pasting link to few queries on MCC and reply of CEO. Please go through them and act accrodingly.

Only photo taking for fresh / new voter would be taken ( or voters having no EPIC). DUplicate and corrections are not allowed. Please make arrangements accordingly.
2. All BDOs to take necessary action including miking and publicity and information to political parties. Communicate two points - that without EPIC no one can become polling or counting agent and it would be easier to vote EPIC. Analyse your booth wise data and booths having more non-EPIC shall be given special attention on 14th and 15th March. One camera can be in BDO office and other can go to these booths.
3. Ask BLOs to hold booth level meetings and take following steps -
