NEw new delhi, The aggregation of numbering forms from electors in urban areas was " often to a lesser extent" as compared to rural areas in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of voters' list in nine states and three Union territories, EC officials said on Friday citing available trends.They said most likely reason for electors not returning filled up enumeration forms is that electors are not available at home due to work or professional commitments. Constant migration was seen as anther reason behind the lower form collection.In rural areas, the enumeration form collection by booth-level officials was much higher as compared to urban areas.Lucknow, Kanpur, Noida were among the cities that saw "much less' form collection, officials said quoting available trends from states where SIR is in progress.They said a similar trend was seen in cities, including Patna, when the voters' clean up exercise took place in Bihar last year.Phase II of SIR began in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Puducherry, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal on November 4.Except for Uttar Pradesh, draft electoral rolls have been published in all other states and UTs.In Assam, a separate 'special revision' of electoral rolls is in progress.The last SIR in states will serve as the cut-off date, just as the 2003 voter list of Bihar was used by the EC for intensive revision.Most states had the last SIR of the voter list between 2002 and 2004, and they have nearly completed the mapping of current electors, according to the last SIR held in their respective states.The primary aim of the SIR is to weed out foreign illegal migrants by checking their place of birth. The move assumes significance in the wake of a crackdown in various states on illegal migrants, including those from Bangladesh and Myanmar.This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
