## Monitoring voter data

Additional Chief Electoral Officer Vijay Kumar Jogdande shared this update during a meeting with political party representatives in Dehradun. To keep the process clear, nine senior officers are working as special observers. These officials are watching how claims and objections are handled, mainly in Haridwar, Udham Singh Nagar, and Nainital, where there are still many objections to review.

Election officials in Uttarakhand have picked nine senior officers as special observers to track the Special Intensive Revision of voter lists. This step comes after Congress party members raised concerns about the process.

Chief Electoral Officer BVRC Purushottam said these officers will watch how staff handle claims and objections in Haridwar, Nainital, and Udham Singh Nagar. These areas had the most objections. Observers must keep things clear and follow Election Commission rules strictly. They have to send inspection reports to the CEO office twice every week.

Supervision steps

Also, divisional commissioners in Garhwal and Kumaon will act as roll observers to watch the work. Local officials want to make sure the voter list is correct and fair for all citizens.

Voter verification in Uttarakhand is reaching everyone. BVRC Purushottam, the Chief Electoral Officer, even received a notice during the current Special Intensive Revision of voter lists. The process applies to everyone.

Notices also went to BJP MLA Sarita Arya and Kumaon Commissioner Deepak Rawat. Officials explain these are standard checks to fix spelling mistakes or update addresses. Purushottam submitted his documents to the local Booth Level Officer to fix a name error.

Important notice details

Do not worry if you get a notice. It is just a way to keep voter lists correct. More than 20 lakh notices have reached people across the state, including in places like Nainital and Ramnagar. Please work with your local Booth Level Officer to confirm your details are right.

Prominent figures in Uttarakhand, including Chief Electoral Officer BVRC Purshottam and several MLAs, recently received notices. This is part of the Special Intensive Revision drive to fix errors in the voter database.

Details on the update

Notices went out to leaders such as Savita Kapoor, Umesh Sharma Kau, Sarita Arya, and Bhuwan Chand Kapri. Officials say this is a standard step to correct spelling mistakes, incomplete names, or outdated addresses.

Even the CEO received a notice about a name mismatch. He has already submitted the required documents to the local officer. Other officials, like Kumaon commissioner Deepak Rawat, were also contacted to update missing details for records in Dehradun Cantonment and Nainital.

Election officials are visiting homes across Uttarakhand for a special revision campaign. This drive keeps electoral rolls accurate and clear of errors. Booth Level Officers are collecting details from every household to keep records up to date.

Verification process for everyone

This process applies to everyone. Officials served notices at the homes of high-profile figures, including Kumaon Commissioner Deepak Rawat and Nainital MLA Sarita Arya. Verification applies to every eligible voter, whether they are a regular citizen or hold a top office.

Please cooperate with the visiting officers. Providing the correct information helps keep your details accurate before the final rolls are published.

Seventeen registered political parties in Uttarakhand cannot field candidates in the 2027 Assembly elections. Election Commission of India took this action because these groups could not prove they exist or show any election work for the past six years. This change affects voters in areas like Dehradun Cantonment, Haridwar, and Nainital.

Details of the action

Officials found these parties were not working from their registered addresses. They also failed to submit required annual records or donation reports. This step is part of a national effort to clean up the list of registered political groups. Leaders from these parties can no longer run for office using their party names.
