It also said the registration counters will remain operational from 10 AM to 8 PM from June 5 to June 14.

Seeking to reduce paper work and making formalities for members seamless, the registration process will be done through an online integrated software application, reported PTI.

Members would not be required to sign multiple physical forms with various branches, a move that would help save a substantial amount of time.

A team has been assigned the task to keep close tab on Election Commission website on Tuesday and to enter the contact details of successful candidates in near real time.

The team using a software application would be able to check whether the successful candidate is a new MP or re-elected, reported PTI.
