‘Check voters list at municipal and town panchayat offices’
District Collector Shreya P. Singh released the final electoral roll for the urban local body elections here on Thursday.
According to a release, elections will be held for Kumarapalayam, Namakkal, Rasipuram, Pallipalayam and Tiruchengode Municipalities and 19 town panchayats.
There are 1,56,552 male voters, 1,67,126 female voters and 84 transgender voters in the five municipalities. Across the town panchayats, there are 1,11,143 male voters, 1,18,622 female voters and 31 transgender voters. The district administration advised the public to visit the municipal and town panchayat offices in their area and ensure that their names were on the voters list.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
