UP CEO Orders Statewide Deactivation of ECINET IDs After Pilibhit Voter Roll Irregularities
Following allegations by opposition parties of large-scale electoral roll manipulation in Pilibhit's Sadar Assembly constituency, Uttar Pradesh's Chief Electoral Officer ordered the deactivation of ECINET login IDs for 806 computer assistants statewide. Investigations found thousands of voter detail changes without supporting documents, leading to the suspension of two Electoral Registration Officers and termination of an outsourced assistant's services. The Election Commission directed rigorous legal action and re-verification of electoral rolls across the state to ensure transparency and accountability.
