The special voter enumeration camps will operate on Saturday, November 29, from 12 pm to 5 pm, and Sunday, November 30, from 10 am to 5 pm, allowing voters to submit their pending forms at designated locations across all Assembly constituencies.

Voters can submit their filled-out enumeration forms at these camps, along with any valid documents recognised by the Election Commission of India, to strengthen the accuracy of the voter list. The Collector has appealed to all eligible voters to cooperate by submitting their pending forms promptly.
