A total of 9,177 booths also achieved 100% digitisation in the state out of the total 1.62 lakh booths.
The Chief Electoral Officer of Uttar Pradesh, Navdeep Rinwa, on Sunday said that the ECI has issued revised dates, extending the dates announced for the ongoing SIR drive in the state by one week, based on the eligibility date of January 1, 2026.
The CEO said that, as per the revised dates, the submission date of enumeration forms has been extended till December 11, 2025, and polling stations will also be allotted by the same date. Control tables will be updated, and draft electoral rolls will be prepared from December 12 to December 15, 2025.
He informed that the draft electoral rolls will be published on December 16, 2025. Claims and objections will be received from December 16, 2025, to January 15, 2026.
From December 16, 2025, to February 7, 2026, EROs will adjudicate and resolve claims and objections during the notice phase. Final approval for publication will be required from the Commission on February 10, 2026, with the final electoral rolls (voter lists) in the state scheduled for publication on February 14, 2026.
Rinwa stated that over 10.75 crore (70%) counting forms have been digitised in the state so far. Furthermore, BLOs have completed 100% of the digitisation of counting forms at 9,177 polling booths.
The CEO directed all District Election Officers that, since an additional week has been granted, their subordinate officers and staff, especially BLOs, need not be subjected to unnecessary mental pressure. There is sufficient time to complete all the work. Those BLOs who have lagged in their work for any reason and who require assistance should be provided with the necessary assistance.
He stated that before the publication of the draft voter list, a meeting would be held at each polling booth between BLOs and Booth Level Agents (BLAs) deployed by political parties. In this meeting, BLOs will provide BLAs with a list of voters whose names are not included in the draft voter list, along with the reasons for their exclusion.
