Lucknow Gears Up for Voter List Update After Temporary Lockdown
Lucknow, November 30, 2025 (Patrika News) – The Lucknow district administration has initiated a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) campaign aimed at ensuring an accurate and up-to-date voter list. As part of the process, the voter list is currently “locked” and will remain so until December 9th, 2025. During this period, no additions, deletions, or modifications can be made to the existing registry.
“The voter list is locked until December 9th, because this is the period that the administration is doing their best to ensure data accuracy,” said Assistant District Election Officer Abhay Kishore. He advised that after the list is unlocked, voters can feel free to proceed with any additions.
Following December 9th, residents who have recently moved or turned 18 and are eligible to vote for the first time will be able to apply for registration or update their address information. Those changing their address will need to fill out Form-8, while new voters will use Form-6. Crucially, both forms now require a mandatory declaration to verify the accuracy of the provided information and residency claims.
“The declaration is an important document as it verifies the accuracy of your information,” Kishore continued. “It is also important to verify that you are a resident of Lucknow.”
While the online application portal remains open, applications submitted during the lockdown period will be processed after December 9th. Officials have stressed that this temporary suspension of modifications is a standard procedure to maintain the integrity of the voter list.
Political parties are actively supporting the SIR campaign. The BJP is conducting a door-to-door campaign, encouraging residents to register to vote and to assist in filling out the forms correctly. Party leaders, including MLC Mukesh Sharma and MLAs Dr. Neeraj Bora and O.P. Srivastava, have been actively involved in the outreach efforts.
To assist residents with the registration process, the district administration has published a list of contact numbers for assistance with form completion, eligibility requirements, and required documentation.
This voter list update, and the campaign to promote it, aims to ensure a comprehensive and reliable voter registry for upcoming elections.
