ECI Allows Missing UP Voters to Re-Register via Form-6 Without Legal Action
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has clarified that voters in Uttar Pradesh whose names appeared in the electoral roll before the 2026 Special Intensive Revision (SIR) but are missing from the current list can submit Form-6 to re-register without fear of legal action under Section 31 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950. This exemption applies if the voter is not registered in another constituency and the declaration complies with the law. The UP Chief Electoral Officer has urged eligible citizens to verify their names and apply as needed, with instructions issued to election officials for wide publicity and compliance.
