Best Wishes for a Successful 2009

I wish all election officials my best wishes for a New Year 2009. 

We all know that the General Lok Sabha Elections are due in the first half of 2009. This calls for meticulous planning and rigorous implementation at all levels and I wish everybody a success in this regard.

In particular, I'd like everybody to take a stock of actions to be done in respect of:

1. Accurate Electoral Rolls

2. Helpful citizen interfaces

3. 100% EPIC and Photo Coverage

4. Communication Network

5. Polling Personnel

6. IT and Personnel Infrastructure

Stop EPIC Campaign and PEC Operation on 15.12.08

We must ensure that all photos taken are featured properly in the photo rolls to be finally published on 10.1.2008

This is mandatory.

To allow for minimum time required for data back up, image linking and image back up, sending to CEO Office through CD (see time schedule in my earlier blog) it must be ensured that we suspend PEC operations on 15.12.08.

It may be necessary to keep the PECs closed from 16.12.08 to 31.1.2009.
