The Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer’s office has directed district election officials to match Assembly voter lists with Panchayat and urban local body rolls in a bid to identify missing voters.

According to the CEO office, guidelines have been sent to all District Election Officers (DEOs) across the state for the exercise.

The DEOs have been instructed to carry out the matching thoroughly. The move is aimed at improving the accuracy of electoral rolls and ensuring eligible voters are not left out.
