Overview

  • Booth-level officers found three wards in Jaitpur incorrectly mapped to house number 803, and officials said the voters are genuine but their addresses were clubbed during data entry.
  • Similar clusters were recorded in Panwari’s Ward 13, with 243 names tied to house number 996 and 185 to house number 997, prompting complaints from residents.
  • The State Election Commission has deployed 486 booth-level officers and 49 supervisors for verification through September 29 to add valid voters, remove deceased entries, and correct addresses.
  • Draft panchayat rolls are slated for release on December 5 after the verification drive, when the public will be invited to file objections.
  • An AI-assisted audit last year flagged over one lakh suspect entries across Mahoba, including 24,000 in Jaitpur, 22,000 in Panwari, 46,000 in Kabrai, and 12,000 in Charkhari, fueling calls from activists and opposition parties for accountability.
