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

• Three tables which define the relationship between
Districts, Assembly Constituencies andParliamentary Constituencies.
