UP SIR 2026 Voter List: The Election Commission of India (ECI) will publish the draft electoral rolls for Uttar Pradesh on January 6. The previous scheduled date was December 31. The UP Chief Electoral Officer had requested a two-week extension to complete the process, so that District Election Officers could re-verify the list of voters marked deceased, shifted and absent. The state had already received a week’s extension before this. So far, SIR has been completed in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Chhattisgarh and the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

UP SIR: Over 2 crore names may get deleted

Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer Navdeep Rinwa said that the draft electoral roll published on December 31 is likely to have 12.55 crore voters. This would mean the deletion of about 2.89 crore names compared to the pre-SIR tally. The people whose names are excluded will get a chance to challenge the removal after the draft rolls are released.

They are not your opponents, but 90 per cent of them are your voters).”

Asking party workers to reach out to every voter in their booths to get enumerated, the chief minister had said that the population of Uttar Pradesh is about 25 crore, out of which about 65 per cent should be voters, including those who are turning 18 years.

“As per this calculation, the number of voters should be around 16 crore. But in the SIR counting so far, it has come to around 12 crore only,” he had said.
