New Delhi: Which is my new constituency? Where will I get my voter ID card from? How can I correct my name in the voters list?

Queries like this, which run into about 2,500 every day, are raining at the help-line centre set up for the first time by the Election Commission in the poll-bound national capital.

The centre, established to ensure hassle-free information for voters, has 15 lines functioning for as many hours daily.

"The centre has been receiving on an average 2,000-2,500 calls daily," says Delhi Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Satbir Sailas Bedi.

Set up under the direct supervision of Joint Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Uday Bakshi, it has different lines with a common number 011-47617500.

"The callers have to make a call on the number to seek answers to their questions," says Bakshi.

General queries that are being addressed include those pertaining to delivery of voters ID cards, mistakes in names, address or age and also pertaining to election procedure post-delimitation.

"With areas being re-configured after delimitation, a recurring question that voters are asking is about the status of their constituency and now where their vote falls," says Bedi.

The centre, which opened few days back within the premises of the commission, is employing 30 people who work in two shifts throughout the day from 7 am till 10 pm.

The centre will function till November 29, the date of voting.
