Uttar Pradesh has published the draft electoral roll following the completion of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, revealing a sharp drop in the total number of registered voters. The revised draft includes 12.55 crore voters, down from 15.44 crore recorded in the previous electoral roll. The figures were released on Tuesday by the state’s Chief Electoral Officer, Navdeep Rinwa, who said the draft list reflects removals made during verification across all districts. The reduction has drawn attention due to its scale, with nearly 2.89 crore voters excluded during the revision process.
