The Chief Electoral Officer of Uttar Pradesh has ordered the deactivation of ECINET IDs used by data operators, a move that will affect the voter roll process statewide.
The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Uttar Pradesh announced on Tuesday that all ECINET IDs assigned to data operators across the state would be deactivated. The directive, issued from the Pilibhit election office, is aimed at tightening control over the voter roll updating process.
ECINET IDs are the credentials that data operators use to access the electronic system for adding, deleting or correcting voter details. By deactivating these IDs, the CEO intends to curb unauthorized changes and ensure greater transparency in the maintenance of the electoral register.
The decision comes as part of a broader effort to improve the accuracy of voter lists ahead of upcoming elections. While the directive does not specify a replacement mechanism, it signals a shift towards stricter oversight of data handling in the state’s electoral system.
