CM Yogi on UP SIR: 4 Crore Voters Missing, Deadline Extended

• CM Yogi expressed concern over 4 crore fewer voters in UP's Special Summary Revision (SIR), noting the list currently shows 12 crore names against an expected 16 crore from the adult population.
• The CM highlighted that the previous voter list had 15.44 crore names, and the ongoing SIR process, aimed at voter purification, should have seen an increase.
• The Election Commission extended the SIR period by 15 days for re-verification of deceased, shifted, and absent voters, following a request from the UP Chief Election Officer.
• New dates for claims and objections are from December 31 to January 30, 2026, with the final publication of Uttar Pradesh's voter list scheduled for February 28.
