Tips for Delimitation Pilot Correlation Exercise

Some suggestions:-
1. Trace out the new constituencies linked to the pilot old AC on a map. Locate the existing booths as dots. Assign numbers to the booths in one serial from north-west to south east. Use this booth number in last column of format 4.2 or 4.3.

2. Make the correlation exercise for other olds ACs also. It makes sense to do the exercise for ALL the ACs of the district in the "background".

3. Make a cross-check table for the whole district to ensure correctness: see that all voters/ sections/ villages/ wards/ GPs/ blocks/ subdivisions and, of course, parts in your district are reflected in the new ACs of the district.

4. Hoogly has sent us a preliminary correlation table - taking into account break-up of parts into different rows taking care that voters are not counted twice. I'm asking Hoogly to email it to all others for comments.

Yes, Malda, it is almost OK. Except that in the first few columns, repeat the name of the district, AC etc in each row.
Remember, our instructions are that no cell in the Excel sheet should be left blank.

PS: You may add a column (Part/Full) in 4.3 as well if necessary ie in case a polling area covers a part of a ward
