The official said voters unable to visit hearing centres can inform booth-level officers, the AERO or the ERO concerned regarding their inability to visit the hearing centres. All of them are extremely busy conducting hearings at the hearing centres, and can’t visit homes of the voters now. A senior poll panel official said: “Those who can visit the hearing centres, they are always welcome. “In the absence of clear guidelines, all such voters, including the aged and ailing ones, were being served hearing notices,” saidthe DM. “If any aged voter is now forced to visit the hearing centre, district officials will face questions from the poll panel,” he said.
