"The Election Commission has set up a National Voter Service Portal where anyone can upload their documents. It is very easy and time-saving. So I request all to go online for any update or verification. Those who are not comfortable with the online process can also fill an application form which will be available in all polling booths," he said.
Das said 57 new polling booths will be set up, including 21 in Jalukbari, 18 in Dispur, three in Gauhati East and 15 in Gauhati West. Thirty-one polling booths will be shifted to new premises, including four in Jalukbari, nine in Dispur, seven in Gauhati East and 11 in Gauhati West.
The total number of polling stations in Kamrup (metro) will be 1,170.
Das said the stress will be on inclusion of new voters who have just turned 18. All booth-level officers will visit homes for inclusion of young voters on the directions of the commission.
The portal provides single-window service to electors. Anyone can search his name in the electoral list, apply online in English or Hindi for new registration and for corrections, view details of a particular polling booth, Assembly and parliamentary constituency, get contact details of booth-level, electoral registration officers and so on .
