UP Poll Chief Says Missing Voters Can Apply via Form 6 Without Fear of Action

The Uttar Pradesh Election Commissioner has clarified that citizens who find themselves absent from the electoral roll can apply for inclusion using Form 6 without fear of any punitive measures. The directive comes as part of the state’s effort to ensure that all eligible voters are accounted for before the upcoming elections.

Officials explained that Form 6 is the standard procedure for updating the electoral register and that the process is designed to be straightforward and non‑discriminatory. The commissioner emphasized that no action will be taken against voters who submit the form correctly.

The announcement was made during a press briefing in Lucknow, where the election body reiterated its commitment to maintaining an accurate and inclusive voter list. The move is expected to encourage more citizens to verify their registration status and complete any necessary updates before the polls open.

Election authorities will continue to monitor the roll and process applications throughout the registration period. Voters are advised to check the latest electoral roll and submit Form 6 if they are missing.

The Uttar Pradesh Election Commission remains open to queries from voters and will provide assistance through its helpline and local offices.
