UP Voter List Update 2026: The Election Commission has made an important and comforting announcement for the citizens of Uttar Pradesh. The deadline for the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) campaign in the state has been extended for the fourth time, giving voters an additional month.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Navdeep Rinwa confirmed that applications for adding new names to the voter list, deleting old names, or making any corrections can now be submitted until March 6, 2026. Previously, this deadline was set to expire on February 6.
Available Application Options
The Election Commission has prescribed different forms for various purposes so that voters can apply as per their needs. If you have attained the age of 18 on January 1, 2026, or are a first-time voter, you can enroll by filling out Form 6.
If the name of a deceased person needs to be removed or an objection to an incorrect entry is to be raised, Form 7 will be used. Any correction in name, age, gender, or address requires Form 8, while Indian citizens living abroad can use Form 6A to add their name.
When will be the final publication
In light of the demand from political parties and the large number of applications received, the entire schedule has been revised as follows:
- The last date for filing claims and objections is March 6, 2026.
- The date for disposing of notices and objections is March 27, 2026.
- The publication of the final voter list is on April 10, 2026.
Millions of applications disposed
According to data from the Uttar Pradesh Election Department, over 37.80 lakh applications for adding new names (Form 6) have been received so far. Some discrepancies have been found in the details of 32.6 million voters included in the draft list, and notices are being issued to investigate them.
For the convenience of voters, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will be present at their polling stations on all working days from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Voters can check their names in the draft list and fill out the form with the assistance of the BLO.
Online Correction and Registration Facility
Citizens using digital media can also apply from home through the Election Commission’s official portal, voters.eci.gov.in, or the ‘Voter Helpline App‘. The Commission has especially appealed to youth aged 18 to 21 and women whose names are not yet included in the list.
Voters can also contact the toll-free number 1950 for any queries or assistance. It is very important to ensure that your information is correct so that your name and details are completely accurate in the final list to be released on 10th April.
