Voting commenced across 72 districts in Uttar Pradesh for 11 Legislative Council (MLC) seats, covering six teacher segments and five graduate segments. The election involved approximately 1.4 million voters and 152 candidates, with notable competition between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Samajwadi Party.

Following reports of irregularities and alleged booth capturing during the teacher segment voting in the Agra Division, the Election Commission of India (ECI) declared the voting held on October 23 at three specific polling stations null and void. Under Section 58A(2)(A) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, these include Booth 20 in Kheragarh Tehsil, Booth 21 in Saiya, and Booth 26 in Fatehabad.

A repoll has been scheduled for October 26, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, for these locations. To maintain integrity, officials involved in the alleged irregularities, including police and polling officers, will be barred from duty during the re-poll, and the use of indelible ink has been mandated. The Agra Divisional Commissioner has been directed to conduct an immediate investigation into the conduct of polling staff and police personnel, with a report due by October 25. The counting of votes for the entire Agra Division teacher constituency remains pending until the repoll is completed and fresh permission is obtained from the Commission.
