The Electors Verification Programme (EVP) in Kerala will start from September 1, state Chief Electoral Officer Teeka Ram Meena said here on Friday.
Meena, who spoke to reporters after chairing a meeting with political parties, said the programme's main objective was to ensure that the voters list was accurate and to give an opportunity to see whether their names were in it.
If not they could submit applications to add their names, approach Akshaya Kendras or verify the list via the National Voters Service Portal (https://www.nvsp.in/).
The programme would continue state-wide till October 15 and the draft list would be made available for the public and political parties, he said.
Referring to the the September 23 by-election for Pala assembly constituency, he said the District Collector has been directed to conduct it in a fair free and impartial manner
