ECI Resets UP Voter List Deadline Again: Draft Out Jan 6, 2026

• ECI extends Uttar Pradesh electoral roll revision (SIR) for the third time; draft list now on Jan 6, 2026.
• Qualifying date for voters is January 1, 2026; claims and objections open from Jan 6 to Feb 6, 2026.
• Massive cleanup targets 2.89 crore deletions (19% of electorate) for deceased, shifted, or duplicate entries.
• Over 1 crore "unmapped" voters must provide self-attested documents to retain voting rights.
