The Election Commission of India will conduct a review of election readiness in 18 districts of western Uttar Pradesh today, focusing on polling infrastructure and voter‑list accuracy.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) announced that a team of officials will visit 18 districts in western Uttar Pradesh today to assess the state of assembly election preparations. The inspection aims to verify that polling stations, security arrangements, and voter rolls are in place ahead of the upcoming state polls.
The districts under review include key constituencies that have historically seen high voter turnout and intense campaigning. ECI officials will examine the readiness of electronic voting machines, the adequacy of staff training, and the implementation of model code of conduct guidelines.
The move comes as part of the commission's routine oversight to ensure a free and fair electoral process. By conducting on‑ground checks, the ECI seeks to address any logistical gaps before the election schedule is finalized.
While no specific deficiencies have been reported so far, the commission has emphasized that any shortcomings identified will be rectified promptly to avoid disruptions on polling day.
