Pure electoral rolls are the bedrock of democracy. The electoral roll machinery, consisting of Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), BLO Supervisors and Booth Level Officers (BLOs), do a lot of hard work and play a pivotal role in preparation of impartial and transparent electoral rolls. The Commission has therefore, decided to double the annual remuneration for BLOs and also enhanced the remuneration of BLO Supervisors involved in the preparation and revision of electoral rolls. The last such revision was done in 2015. Also, honorarium has been provided for EROs and AEROs for the first time.
Sr No | Designation | Existing since 2015 | Revised now |
1. | Booth Level Officer (BLO) | Rs.6000/- | Rs.12000/- |
2. | Incentive to BLO for Revision of electoral roll | Rs.1000/- | Rs.2000/- |
3. | BLO Supervisor | Rs.12000/- | Rs.18000/- |
4. | AERO | Nil | Rs.25000/- |
5. | ERP | Nil | Rs.30000 |
|
Besides, this, the Commission had also approved a special incentive of Rs.6000/- for BLOs for Special Intensive Revision (SIR) starting from Bihar.
This decision reflects the Election Commission's commitment to adequately compensate election personnel who work tirelessly at the field level to maintain accurate electoral rolls, assist voters, and strengthen the electoral process.
