The Election Commission of India (ECI) has released the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) draft voter list for Uttar Pradesh, showing significant updates as approximately 2.89 crore names were deleted from the electoral roll—a major revision aimed at improving accuracy ahead of future elections. Citizens are now able to check the draft list online or through offline procedures to verify whether their names remain on the list and to file claims if they have been removed in error. Officials said the deletions reflect efforts to remove duplicate, outdated, or ineligible entries, stressing that this extensive revision is critical for ensuring the integrity of the democratic process in India’s most populous state.
