As per the Election Commission's directive, the BBMP has kick-started the preparations for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections by planning a range of activities, from training officers to revising the electoral rolls.
During this period, citizens can enroll their names on the voter list. The final electoral roll will be published on January 5.
The training of electoral officers, including Block-Level Officers (BLOs), which is expected to kickstart next week, will conclude on July 20. The BLOs will also undertake a house-to-house verification survey from July 21 to August 21.
A similar exercise, which was undertaken by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) ahead of the state assembly polls, was embroiled in a controversy as the civic body had partnered with an NGO, which had commercial links with various political leaders.

Removal of discrepancies in electoral roll: August 22-September 29
