Over 96 lakh additions to voter list for urban local body elections in UP
Uttar Pradesh State Election Commission has updated the voter list for the forthcoming urban local body polls, adding more than 96 lakh electors. State Election Commissioner Manoj Kumar said that as many as 4.32 crore people are eligible to vote in forthcoming polls. The strength of the electorate was 3.35 crore in 2017. "There has been an increase of 96,36,280 voters. He said the increase in the number of voters has been primarily due to expansion of the boundary of municipal corporations and Nagar Palika parishads," said the SEC.
