Uttar Pradesh SIR: Special Intensive Revision Adds Maternal Home Details To Track Duplicate Voters Across State

Lucknow: The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll is progressing rapidly in Uttar Pradesh, with officials issuing updated instructions to ensure comprehensive verification. As part of the revised format, women voters will now be required to provide information related to their maternal home. This addition is aimed at identifying duplicate registrations across different locations.

According to officials, the new form asks for several mandatory details, including date of birth, Aadhaar number, mobile number, names of parents, and their e-EPIC numbers. Block Level Officers (BLOs) report that the extended data fields are expected to streamline identification of voters whose names appear multiple times, as well as verify records of deceased individuals and new residents.

Ground-Level Checks Reveal Mismatches and Deceased Voters

Ground reports from dense localities indicate that 50–60 entries per area lack matching local records. A significant number of deceased voters have also been detected, helping the ongoing effort to purify the electoral list.
