Uttar Pradesh's final voter list for 2026 has been published by the Election Commission of India (ECI) on April 10, 2026, after completing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. The state now has a total of 13,39,84,792 voters, which is 13.39 crore. This comes after a massive clean-up drive that removed over 2 crore names from the rolls and added fresh eligible voters to the list.
Chief Electoral Officer Navdeep Rinwa shared the details at a press conference in Lucknow. He said the SIR exercise ran for 166 days, from October 27, 2025 to April 10, 2026, and covered all 75 districts, 403 assembly constituencies, and thousands of polling stations across the state. If your name is in the voter roll, you can check it at the official ECI voter portal: voters.eci.gov.in.
How Did the Voter Count Change?
When the SIR exercise began on October 27, 2025, Uttar Pradesh had 15.44 crore voters in its records. After the first phase of the revision wrapped up, the draft voter list published on January 6, 2026 showed just 12.55 crore voters. That was a sharp drop because a large number of duplicate, shifted, or untraceable voter entries were flagged for deletion during the first phase itself.
Between January 6 and April 10, 2026, more voters were added through Form 6 applications, and further deletions were also carried out through a formal notice-hearing process. The final roll published on April 10 shows the total settled at 13.39 crore. That means the net difference from the state's October 2025 count comes to about 2.05 crore fewer voters overall.

Who Was Deleted and Why?
Between January 6 and April 10, a total of 8,15,996 voter names were deleted from the list. The Election Commission gave specific reasons for each category of deletion. Rinwa made it clear that no voter's name was removed without following due process, which included serving notices and holding hearings.
Here is a breakdown of why names were removed in this second phase of deletions:
- Non-response to EC notices (3,50,026 names): These voters were sent notices by the Election Commission after phase one, but they did not respond. After hearings were completed, their names were removed from the list.
- Shifted out of area (3,28,000 names): Voters who had moved out of their registered constituency were removed after verification.
- Duplicate entries (79,076 names): Names that appeared more than once in different places were cleaned up to avoid double-counting.
- Death (55,865 names): Names of voters who had passed away were removed from the rolls.
- Underage or non-citizens (2,069 names): Names that did not qualify because the person was either below 18 years of age or not an Indian citizen were also removed.
84 Lakh New Voters Added in Final List
Although the big story is about deletions, the other side of the picture is that 84,28,767 new voters were added to the list between January 6 and April 10. These additions came through Form 6 applications submitted by citizens, booth level agents, and new eligible voters. Of the total additions, 42,27,902 were male, 42,00,778 were female, and 87 were third-gender voters. The 18-19 age group alone saw 14,29,379 new first-time voters added to the rolls, which is a very good sign for youth participation in the upcoming elections.
The gender ratio also improved during this process. It stood at 824 females per 1,000 males in the January 6 draft list but went up to 834 by the time the final list was published. That's a 10-point jump in just three months.
Which Districts Saw the Highest Growth?
At the district level, Prayagraj saw the highest increase with 3,29,421 new voters added in the final roll. It was followed by Lucknow (2,85,961 new voters), Bareilly (2,57,920), Ghaziabad (2,43,666) and Jaunpur (2,37,590). These cities are major urban and semi-urban centers, which explains the large number of new additions.
At the assembly segment level, Sahibabad in Ghaziabad saw the biggest jump with 82,898 new voters. Other top constituencies include Jaunpur (56,118), Lucknow West (54,822), Loni (53,679), and Firozabad (47,757).
How Was the SIR Conducted?
The SIR 2026 was a large ground-level operation. Rinwa said the exercise was carried out by 75 District Election Officers, 403 Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), 12,758 Assistant EROs, 18,026 Booth Level Officer (BLO) supervisors, and a massive 1,77,516 Booth Level Officers (BLOs) spread across the state. Also, 5,82,877 booth-level agents from recognized political parties participated and helped with on-ground verification. Print, electronic, and digital media also played a key role in voter awareness campaigns throughout the exercise.
Five meetings were held with recognized political parties during the SIR process, starting October 29, 2025, and going through November 19, December 8, January 6, 2026, and January 27, 2026. These meetings were held to share Election Commission guidelines and get party feedback. During the revision, around 1.04 crore electors were identified as "non-mapped," while 2.22 crore cases had logical discrepancies that needed checking.
What If Your Name Is Missing from the Final Voter List?
If you find that your name is not in the final UP voter list 2026, you still have an option to apply for inclusion. The process depends on how soon elections are announced. Voters can file a fresh Form 6 application to get their name added. Here's how you can do it:
STEP 1 - Visit the official ECI voter services portal at voters.eci.gov.in on your phone or computer. This is the main portal for all voter registration and correction activities in India.
STEP 2 - Click on the "Voter Registration" or "Register as New Voter" option on the homepage. You will be asked to fill in Form 6 with your personal details including name, address, date of birth, and Aadhaar number.
STEP 3 - Fill in all the required details carefully, attach supporting documents like proof of address and age, and submit the form online. Note down the reference number you get after submission so you can track your application later.
STEP 4 - Your application will be reviewed by the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) of your area. Once verified, your name will be added to the voter roll. You can also contact your local Booth Level Officer (BLO) for help with this process. BLO contact details are available at electoralsearch.eci.gov.in using your EPIC number or personal details.
Alternatively, if you feel your name was wrongly deleted even though you are a valid voter, you can file an appeal online at voters.eci.gov.in or contact your ERO or District Election Officer (DEO) directly for a hearing.
