Completion of Voter List Revision in Uttar Pradesh

The extensive special revision process for the voter list in Uttar Pradesh has concluded. The final figures and the draft of the voter list will be released on December 31. According to sources, approximately 28.9 million voters have been categorized as 'de-registered', indicating their names have been removed from the voter list. Previously, Uttar Pradesh had around 15.44 million registered voters. After the deadline for the special voter list revision, nearly 28.9 million voters, which is about 18.7% of the total electorate, will not have their names included. In the state capital, Lucknow, there has been a significant drop of around 1.2 million voters.

Voters whose names may be removed fall under categories such as absent, transferred, deceased, or duplicates. The draft of the voter list is set to be published on December 31. The districts experiencing the highest number of removals include Lucknow, Ghaziabad, Prayagraj, Kanpur, Agra, and Bareilly.

Missing Records for 11.1 Million Voters

Records for 11.1 million voters are currently untraceable. The 2003 voter list does not contain their names, nor those of their parents or grandparents. This accounts for approximately 7% of the total electorate. Following the publication of the draft voter list, these individuals will receive notices from the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO). They will need to provide one of the 12 approved documents from the Election Commission, as an Aadhaar card alone will not suffice. According to the Chief Electoral Officer's office, the deadline for submitting the enumeration forms will coincide with the list's publication. Claims and objections will be accepted from December 31 to January 30. Notices will be issued to voters whose records could not be found between December 31 and February 21. The final voter list is expected to be published on February 28.

How to Register if Your Name is Missing

Individuals whose names are absent from the 2025 voter list can fill out Form-6 to register as voters. Those who received enumeration forms but could not complete them for any reason can also apply using Form-6. However, they will need to submit an affidavit, providing records similar to those from 2003. Additionally, young individuals who turn 18 on January 1, 2026, can also register by filling out Form-6.
