Uttar Pradesh’s draft electoral roll is out. A total of 12.55 crore voters have been retained while 2.89 crore have been deleted following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.
UP Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Navdeep Rinwa said the 2.89 crore names are those whom Booth Level Officers (BLOs) could not locate or whose enumeration forms they didn’t receive. He said these electors had either permanently shifted from their earlier residence, were found missing or absent from the polling area concerned, or failed to submit the forms by December 26, 2025.
The Indian Express breaks down how you can track name deletions and file objections.
How can you check if your name is on the draft roll?
One can directly contact their respective booth-level officer (BLO), check the ECINET mobile app, or visit the official websites — ceouttarpradesh.nic.in, or voters.eci.gov.in.
How can you find if your name is in the ‘uncollectable’ or deleted list?
According to CEO Rinwa, these lists can be found online on ceouttarpradesh.nic.in, or voters.eci.gov.in websites under the ASDDR list (A-‘Absent’, S ‘Shifted’, D ‘Dead’, D ‘Duplicate’ and R as ‘Enumeration Form Refused’).
Names registered at more than one location will be retained at only one location.
What can you do if your name is not on the list?
For those whose names are not on the list, one needs to fill out and submit Form-6.
While Form-6 is for new voters, Form-6A is for overseas voters, Form-7 is for removal of name or objections, and Form-8 is for corrections/replacements.
Application forms can be obtained from and submitted to the BLO, the Voter Registration Centre (VRC) at the Tehsil office, or ceouttarpradesh.nic.in. Applications can also be submitted online through the ECINET mobile app or voters.eci.gov.in.
What are the key dates to remember?
The claims and objections period is from January 6, 2026 to February 6, 2026.
The notice phase and disposal of claims/objections will take place from January 6, 2026 to February 27, 2026.
The final electoral roll will be published on March 6, 2026.
