The first session was attended by Sub-Divisional Magistrates (Elections), Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), Fair Shop Officers notified as AEROs, Booth-Level Officers (BLOs) Supervisors from all 13 districts, and second session by the booth level agents (BLAs) representing recognised political parties.During the first session, EC experts explained the functioning of various ECINet IT modules used by EROs and BLOs. The roles and responsibilities of EROs and BLOs during the revision exercise were also discussed, while officials addressed queries raised by participants.According to election officials, 29,758 BLAs had been appointed by the six national parties across Delhi till May 26.187 BLA-1s who are appointed at the Assembly Constituency level attended the session, while BLA-2s are appointed for individual polling stations.
