While the increase is good, I'm concerned about the dip from 15.44 crore in Oct '25 to 13.39 crore now. That's over 2 crore voters! Where did they go? The EC needs to explain this huge deletion/clean-up process more clearly. Transparency is key.

Great to see so many young voters (18-19 years) added! They are the future. My only request to the EC: please make sure the voting process is simple and the booths are well-managed. Long queues discourage first-time voters.

As an observer of Indian democracy, this is impressive data management. The inclusion of third-gender voters, though small in number, is a progressive step. The focus should now be on ensuring every single one of these 13.39 crore can cast their vote freely.

UP's elections are always a bellwether for national politics. This final list sets the stage. Hope the parties focus on real issues like jobs, infrastructure, and education, not just rhetoric. Jai Hind!

The gender gap is still there (54.5% male vs 45.5% female). We need more campaigns to get every eligible woman on the list. My didi in the village just got her voter ID last month after we helped her with the form. Small efforts count!
