Is Namma Guide affiliated with ECI or CEO Karnataka?

No. Namma Guide is an independent educational platform. Official portals and election officers decide status, acceptance, notices, and final roll inclusion.

Do I need to upload documents during the enumeration phase?

ECI's public SIR material says no document other than the enumeration form needs to be collected with the form during the enumeration phase. If a notice is issued later, election officers may verify indicative documents.

What if my mobile number is not linked to my voter card?

The online screenshots show a warning that online enumeration requires the mobile number linked to the voter card, and points users to Form 8 for linking or correction. You can also speak with your BLO about offline submission.

What if my name is not found in the previous SIR roll?

Try searching relatives such as father, mother, spouse, grandparents, or guardian. If no match is found, submit truthful available details and follow any notice or BLO/ERO guidance.

Who can help if I cannot fill the online form?

Your BLO is the first practical contact. News reports also mention Voter Facilitation Centers for people who find it difficult to fill enumeration forms.

Can the assistant guarantee inclusion in the electoral roll?

No. It can explain steps, fields, and common problems. It cannot approve applications, contact officials, fabricate documents, or influence verification.

What if I am outside the city during BLO visits?

Citizen-facing explainers say an adult family member may help fill details if you are away, and the online form remains an option if the whole family is away. Verify the final method with the official portal or your BLO.

What do BLO house stickers mean?

The Hindu reported that a square violet sticker indicates the enumeration form was delivered, while a round red sticker means the house was locked or nobody was available. BLOs may revisit such homes.
