Pilibhit voter list manipulation: UP CEO orders legal action against election officials

Pilibhit voter list manipulation: UP CEO orders legal action against election officials

The Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer has ordered legal action against current and former election officials over discrepancies in the Pilibhit Assembly constituency’s electoral rolls. An investigation found that 13,779 Form-8 applications were entered to update voter details, but no corresponding applications were found in official records. The Election Commission has also ordered a review of voter registration records. The development follows Congress allegations of large-scale voter list manipulation in Pilibhit Sadar, with the party claiming that voters’ details were changed while their EPIC and serial numbers remained unchanged.
