The Election Commission on Saturday launched a nationwide one-month special drive to enroll eligible electors with a special focus on young citizens in the age group of 18 to 21.
During the special enrolment drive, the EC will give special attention to two activities, receiving Form 6 for enrollment of new electors and removal of names of registered dead electors, said a senior officer of the commission.
The EC has made all arrangements and asked applicants to send Form 6 at EROs office by post or by submitting the form online at National Voters’ Service Portal (www.nvsp.in).

Booth level officers would also be visiting households to collect Form 6 from the applicants, particularly in the 8-19 age group (extendable to 21 years of age) from 1 July to 31 July (except the special campaign dates), said a senior EC official.
The commission had made arrangements in June and completed its preparatory work, including identification of critical gaps in existing electoral rolls, strengthening of infrastructure and sensitisation of ground-level electoral machinery.
The Election Commission has also sent communication to all recognised political parties seeking their cooperation for the success of the special drive, the official said.
BLOs will make door to door visits to complete field verification. Disposal of Forms 6 and Forms 7 (death cases), received during the special drive will be done within the prescribed time of one month. However, Form 7 (other than death cases), Form 8 and 8A received during the period will be done on conclusion of the drive.
