Deoghar: Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar said in the BLO dialogue program organized at Sri Sri Mohananand Vidyalaya, Tapovan, Deoghar on Monday that ‘just as the basis of democracy is the pure voter list, similarly the basis of the pure voter list is the BLOs who prepare it.’ Describing BLOs (Booth Level Officers) as ‘invisible heroes’ of democracy, he said that the aim of the Commission is that ‘no eligible Indian should be left out from the voter list’.

BLO identity card has been made by the Election Commission of India, so that now every BLO has his own ID card and he does not have any hesitation in door to door verification.
