These are documents of voters whose hearings have been completed. However, the uploading of the remaining 20 lakh voters’ documents has been withheld purposefully. The DEOs have been asked to upload all pending documents by January 26,” said a senior EC official. According to the procedure, the AEROs and EROs, who were conducting the hearings, would upload the documents submitted by voters after the hearings. Once the documents are uploaded, the DEOs will verify the same by sending them to the issuing authorities.
