Election Commission of India begins electoral roll revisions in Uttar Pradesh and Assam

The Election Commission of India has initiated Special Summary Revision (SSR) campaigns in Uttar Pradesh and Assam to update and refine electoral rolls.

In Uttar Pradesh, the campaign began on October 17 and is scheduled to run through October 24. Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are assisting citizens with voter registration and corrections in districts including Etawah, Basti, Lucknow, Unnao, and Mainpuri. Special camps have been established at various polling stations to facilitate the submission of forms for new registrations and detail updates.

In Assam, the SSR process is set to begin with the publication of integrated draft electoral rolls on November 12. A period for filing claims and objections will follow, lasting until December 11, with final rolls expected to be published on January 4, 2027. This exercise includes the rationalization and reorganization of polling stations, ensuring that no single station exceeds 1,200 electors following physical verification of locations.
