Database Structure

• Electoral Rolls are computerized i.e. maintained in a

relational database organized into tables prescribed by ECI

• Database is stored in two set of tables:

1. Control Table (Master Tables) - Defines relationship between Electoral units such as Parliamentary

constituencies, Assembly Constituencies, Parts,

Sections and administrative units

2. Elector Details Table – 

 Provides details of the electors

• Database is updated during every revision process

Control Tables

• Details in Control tables are required: –  For printing details on the Part header 

 –  For data integration of database of all electors in theState

 –  Prepare the Draft Rolls in PDF format

• Accepted claims and objections are entered in the systemand then Final Roll is prepared by incorporating alldeletions and modifications

• It is very important to prepare control tables with extremecare and diligence so that the Electoral Rolls are properlygenerated

• The Control tables are entered once and used multipletimes for roll preparation. An error in control table canmagnify multiple times, so utmost care has to be takenwhile preparing control tables.

• If the control tables are not filled timely and

correctly then all the pains taken by EROs to ensurethe enrollment of eligible persons would be wasted

• DEOs /EROs are responsible for collection of this datafrom the field.

• DEOs/ EROs supervise the data entry by data entry

operators• State Level Agency (SLA) provides the technical

support

Control Tables

• To ensure the correct updation of database it is vital tohave close coordination between SLAs (technicalguide), DEOs (collection of data) and the data entryoperators

• ECI identifies and lays down the structure of thecontrol tables.

• Timeliness of data entry is important

• Some major tables are shown in the next few slides

Control Tables

• Three tables which define the relationship between

Districts, Assembly Constituencies andParliamentary Constituencies.

Electoral Roll Management System 

• It’s a Windows based application developed for using web

services as a data retrieval technique.

• It covers the entire process of Electoral Roll preparation in

the states from electoral roll revision, data management process, electors’ registration, correction and data

modification to final publication of Electoral Roll and

 preparation of Electors Photo Identity Card (EPIC).

•It also has some additional tools for providing citizenservices i.e. search facility, voter slip and tracking current

status of your application.

Data Entry and Data Security (1)

• List of amendments are entered into a database using asoftware provided by ECI in CEO’s office during everyrevision

• Data is entered with utmost care ensuring error free entries asit will be published as Roll later 

• ERO ensures that manuscripts of additions, deletions andcorrections are entered timely and correctly

7/27/2019 ERMS Computerization Handout

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/erms-computerization-handout 25/39

• Data entry work is undertaken in secured environment wheresafe and exclusive space can be provided

• Data and Equipments for data entry remains in the custody of 

DEO/ERO. ERO must adhere to the elaborative guidelines for data safety and security

Data Entry and Data Security (2)

• All forms received on paper must be computerizedimmediately and data uploaded on CEOs server 

• Data entry can be done in off-line mode with batch upload

• Processing of data should start only after it is uploaded on the

Server • Full data base security at server level is essential

• Data is uploaded on a database separate from electoral data base. It may be called uploaded data base

• Data is shifted from uploaded to electoral database only after full enquiry and approval by ERO with digital signatureauthentication by ERO

Data Entry and Data Security (7)

Reports

• Report on Statistical Analysis in Format 1 to 8 analyzing EP

Ratio, Sex Ratio, Age Cohorts etc

• Report on number of claims and objections received in Form
