Lucknow, Dec 11 (PTI) The SIR exercise in Uttar Pradesh will continue till December 26 after the Election Commission of India (ECI) granted a 15-day extension as requested, Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Navdeep Rinwa said on Thursday.

As per a press statement, Rinwa said the state had earlier sought an additional two weeks to ensure proper verification of entries related to deceased, shifted, and untraceable voters.

The extension, he said, will help district election officers undertake re-verification more effectively to ensure a purified and accurate voter list.

According to the revised schedule issued by the ECI, the enumeration period will now continue until December 26. The draft publication of electoral rolls, earlier due on December 16, will now take place on December 31, 2025.
