The Election Commission of India has revised the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) schedule for Uttar Pradesh's electoral rolls for the third time, with the draft list now set for publication on January 6, 2026. This extensive revision process, using January 1, 2026, as the qualifying date, is expected to lead to the deletion of approximately 2.89 crore names due to death, relocation, or duplication. Opposition parties have raised concerns about transparency and alleged bias, which the ruling BJP has rejected. The final electoral roll is scheduled for publication on March 6, 2026.
