Uttar Pradesh's draft electoral roll, released after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), shows 2.89 crore voters removed from the previous 15.44 crore. Deletions are attributed to deaths, permanent migration, or multiple registrations. Lucknow and Ghaziabad recorded the highest deletion percentages. Opposition parties criticize the process, citing concerns over fairness and potential disenfranchisement, while the Election Commission explains the SIR aims to clean up voter lists and provides avenues for claims and objections.
