The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday (August 2, 2025) said it has doubled the annual remuneration of its booth-level officers (BLOs), the grassroots-level functionaries who help it prepare electoral rolls.

Since 2015, the BLOs, who help the ECI prepare and update the voters’ list at the booth level, were getting ₹6,000 per annum for their work. The amount now stands at ₹12,000 annually.
