India inshorts@indiainshortsThe Election Commission has approved a reshuffle of polling stations across all 403 Assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh, cutting their total by 3,786. The state will now have 1,73,730 stations, down from 1,77,516, Chief Electoral Officer Navdeep Rinwa said.
The changes are based on a benchmark of 1,200 voters per station, applied across all 75 districts.
The draft electoral roll for the Special Summary Revision, which uses January 1, 2027 as its qualifying date, will be published at these new stations. Voters whose stations have changed will be informed in writing through booth level officers.
