New Delhi: The Election Commission of India (ECI) has revised the schedule for the Special Summary Revision (SSR) 2027 of electoral rolls in Uttar Pradesh in view of preparations for the upcoming Assembly elections, with the draft electoral roll for all 403 Assembly constituencies in the state now scheduled to be published on November 17.
Voters will be able to submit claims and objections for inclusion of names, deletion of ineligible names, and correction of details in the electoral rolls until December 16.
However, there has been no change in the date for the publication of the final electoral roll, which will be released as scheduled on January 4, 2027.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer Navdeep Rinwa said on Tuesday that the ECI has revised the schedule for the Special Summary Revision 2027 of electoral rolls for all 403 Assembly constituencies in the state, based on January 1, 2027 as the qualifying date.
Under the Commission’s new instructions, the publication of the draft electoral roll has been rescheduled to November 17.
According to the revised programme, claims and objections regarding the inclusion of names, deletion of ineligible voters, or correction of any details in the electoral rolls will be accepted from November 17 to December 16, 2026. All such claims and objections will be disposed of by December 28. The final electoral roll will then be published on January 4, 2027.
The Chief Electoral Officer has directed all District Election Officers to widely publicise the revised schedule through newspapers, electronic media, and other communication channels. He has also instructed that all recognised national and state-level political parties be informed of the revised timetable.
The Electoral Registration Officers and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers have been directed to complete all revision-related processes effectively within the stipulated timeframe.
Navdeep Rinwa appealed to all eligible citizens in the state to verify the entries related to themselves and their family members in the electoral rolls during the revision period.
If the name of any eligible citizen is missing from the voter list, they should apply within the prescribed period to have it included.
He emphasised that it is essential to ensure that no eligible citizen is deprived of getting their name entered in the electoral roll.
