According to the revised schedule, the disposal of first and second notices in cases related to non-mapping and logical discrepancies will be completed by October 22.

For eligible citizens whose names have not yet been included in the electoral roll, door-to-door verification will be conducted from November 1 to 12. Digitisation of Form 6 applications will also be carried out during this period.
Disposed notices will be scrutinised and re-verified between November 1 and 21 at the levels of the District Election Officer, the Electoral Roll Observer, and the Chief Electoral Officer.
Meanwhile, maps and photographs related to polling stations will be updated on the Election Commission's online network between November 1 and 23.
