Among the assembly constituencies, Mohanlalganj recorded the highest number of new voters, with over 30,000 additions, followed by Malihabad and Bakshi Ka Talab. Mohanlalganj also topped the list for voter removals, with 19,966 names deleted. Bakshi Ka Talab is second in this category.

BLOs have been updating the voter list since August 19, and the process will continue until January next year. The administration has emphasised strict adherence to verification protocols amid ongoing disputes between political parties and the Election Commission. An app developed by the Commission ensures that BLOs must be physically present at locations to complete verification, preventing any negligence.
