Lucknow: To ensure effective, transparent and time-bound implementation of the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls across Assembly constituencies, District Magistrate and District Election Officer Vishakh G conducted surprise inspections in several areas under Assembly Constituency 175 – Cantonment on Monday. The focus of the inspection was to assess the progress of collection and digitisation of enumeration forms.

BLOs informed the District Election Officer that the distribution of enumeration forms had been completed and the process of collecting duly filled forms from voters was currently underway. Simultaneously, the digitisation of collected forms was also being carried out. BLOs have been instructed to resolve any queries or doubts faced by voters while filling the forms promptly.
Officials including EROs, AEROs, supervisors, and BLOs are continuously visiting their respective areas to ensure smooth progress. The administration aims to complete the digitisation of all enumeration forms by the Election Commission’s deadline of 4 December 2025. The District Election Officer appealed to all voters to submit their filled enumeration forms to their respective BLOs at the earliest.
During the inspection, the District Election Officer reviewed the status of form collection, voter outreach efforts, and mobile app-based data feeding. He directed BLOs to ensure all forms are collected before the 4 December deadline.
