Special Intensive Revision: The Election Commission of India can announce the dates for the first phase of Special Intensive Revision today. For this, a press conference is being organized under the leadership of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at 4:15 pm. According to reports, 10 to 15 states will be included in this phase. Especially those states in which assembly elections are going to be held in the coming time. Like West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala and Puducherry. In the meantime, let us know whether a special intensive vetting process is done in Pakistan or not.
How does voter registration work in Pakistan
Like India, Pakistan also uses a document-based system for voter registration and identification. The required document for this is the computerized national identity card. It has been issued by the National Database and Registration Authority. Let us tell you that in Pakistan, every citizen of 18 years of age or above can register as a voter. The only condition is that he should be of sound mind and have a valid computerized national identity card. At the time of registration, a person has to provide his permanent or temporary address which is used to determine his constituency. In Pakistan, the voter list is directly linked to the National Register of Citizens, which contains the biometric data of every registered person.
what is the process
First of all, citizens go to the National Database and Registration Authority or the regional office of the Election Commission with their computerized national identity card for registration. After this, all the information in the Computerized National Identity Card is verified with the biometric database of the National Database and Registration Authority to ensure authenticity.
The voter’s address on the computerized National Identity Card determines his polling station and constituency. The final lists are updated timely before the elections, as is the case with electoral roll revision in India under special intensive vetting.
Similarities and differences between India and Pakistan
Both countries use a strong document-based voter system. But the verification methods are slightly different between the two countries. The Election Commission in India accepts a number of documents for verification. Like voter identity card, Aadhar card and 11 other prescribed documents. India’s SIR process ensures that new voters are added and errors or duplicates in the voter lists are corrected.
Whereas in Pakistan, computerized National Identity Card works as the only and necessary proof for voter identity. The integration of the biometric database of the National Database and Registration Authority makes Pakistan’s verification system much stronger.
