Notes

  • Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections are scheduled for early 2027.
  • Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls resulted in a decline in the number of registered women voters across most Indian states, including Uttar Pradesh.
  • Data from the Uttar Pradesh State Election Commission indicates a total electorate of 13,39,84,792, with women comprising 45.46% (6,09,09,525) and men 54.54% (7,30,71,061).
  • A primary cause for the exclusion of women voters is the migration associated with marriage, leading to names being dropped from both native and marital district rolls.
  • The issue of missing names is reported to be particularly acute in districts bordering Bihar and Nepal.
  • Form 6 is the designated application form for new voter registration and updates to the electoral roll.
  • Booth-level agents serve as the primary mechanism for ground-level verification and assistance in the electoral registration process.
