Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday appealed to voters to ensure that their names are included in the final voter list to be published on October 1 following the conclusion of the Special Intensive Revision.

CM Mann's Appeal to Citizens

Highlighting the fulfilment of his government's financial promises to women, Mann urged citizens to complete the required registration forms and advised them to seek assistance from local volunteers if needed. "...I have fulfilled my promise by depositing money into the accounts of mothers and sisters. A new form must be filled out to ensure that your name is included in the new voters' list, as the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is currently being carried out. I appeal to everyone to fill out the form, and if you need any assistance, you can contact the local volunteers..." CM Mann said in a video message.
