Uttarakhand Gears Up for Voter List Revision with Door-to-Door Outreach

Dehradun: Uttarakhand is intensifying preparations for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of its voter lists ahead of upcoming elections. The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), B.V.R.C. Purushottam, is spearheading the effort to ensure an accurate and up-to-date electoral roll.

A key component of the revision process involves Booth Level Officers (BLOs) proactively contacting voters, particularly those who may have relocated. “All District Magistrates, Electoral Roll Officers and BLOs need to ensure outreach to the voters,” stated the Chief Secretary in a recent review meeting. “The BLOs must personally contact and identify voters who have moved elsewhere.”

To assist citizens, the CEO has directed the establishment of help desks in every district, enabling individuals to easily check their information against the 2003 voter list. The provisional voter list released in October is also being compared to the 2003 data.

“The aim of this preparation is to ensure that voters do not face any inconvenience during the SIR,” officials said.

The CEO, Dr. Purushottam, conducted an online review meeting with all District Magistrates to assess progress, discuss the appointment of Booth Level Agents, and address guidelines from the Election Commission.

Furthermore, Booth Awareness Groups are being formed at all polling centers across the state to promote voter education and participation. Senior officials, including Additional Chief Electoral Officer Dr. Vijay Kumar Jogdande, and Joint Chief Electoral Officer Prakash Chandra, participated in the review meeting.
