Election Commission of India to launch major voter enrolment drive in UP on Nov 12
Officials will use local departments, ration shops and youth groups to find eligible voters, after a 2.4 crore gap emerged between roll counts.
- On Wednesday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer Navdeep Rinwa directed District Election Officers to match Assembly electoral rolls with Panchayat and Urban Local Body lists, aiming to bridge a gap of nearly 2.4 crore voters.
- Rinwa initiated this correction drive after the Special Intensive Revision revealed an "abnormally low" number of women and youth voters, prompting officials to launch a state-wide enrollment effort.
- District Election Officers are engaging departments like Health and Women Welfare to identify unregistered citizens; field workers including ASHA, ANM, and Anganwadi staff will conduct door-to-door visits while fair-price shops assist.
- Electoral Literacy Clubs will register youth, while officials distribute Form-6 to every identified eligible citizen; the Election Commission approved a rationalization plan on November 4, reducing polling stations by 3,786 to 1,73,730.
- Authorities are prioritizing the Special Summary Revision-2027 to ensure all eligible citizens appear on rolls before the 2027 Assembly elections, with final electoral lists scheduled for publication early next year.
