Meanwhile, it is said that, Mysuru district stands second in the State, in the percentage of population, who have participated in voluntary self-enumeration.

In Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) jurisdiction, beginning from 10 am, enumerators went house-to-house and asked queries according to 33-questionnaire and uploaded the answers on the dedicated portal, on their cellphones. If any households had taken part in voluntary self-enumeration, the Self-Enumeration ID (SEID) number was collected and uploaded on the device.

The task is being supervised by MCC Deputy Commissioner (Revenue) G.S. Somashekar in the city.
