Question

Write a note on voter list

Answer 1

Answer:

A voter list is a detailed record of every person who is registered (see Voter Registration) and eligible to vote. The voter list also includes relevant information used to identify voters and assign them to a specific electoral district (see Electoral Boundaries) and polling station (see Polling Stations). A master voter list is divided into sub-lists for use at each polling station. Polling station voter lists typically only have the names of people designated to vote at that specific polling station. This makes it quicker and easier for election officials to determine who has the right to vote. In many countries, voters can check their personal registration details, including their assigned voting location, often using a national ID number. In some places, like in South Africa, the voter list look-up system is available by SMS. When voters present themselves at a polling station, poll workers check that their name appears on the voter list before they cast a ballot. Signatures on the list often form the basis for the final turnout calculation for each polling station on election day. In some countries, at specified times, polling station turnout is also announced throughout the day. The number of voters assigned to polling stations varies across countries, typically with 500-800 at the lower range and 1,000-1,200 at the upper range.
