The Election Commission of India (ECI) has launched a new facility titled “Book-a-Call with BLO” to make voter-related services more accessible for people in Uttar Pradesh. The initiative has been introduced during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls, while the claims and objections period remains open till February 6, 2026.

According to an official statement, the new facility allows voters to book a phone call with their respective Booth Level Officer (BLO) to seek help or information related to the electoral roll. Voters can raise queries regarding the inclusion of names, deletion, or correction of details in the voter list.

“The objective of this facility is to make voter services more convenient and accessible during the Special Intensive Revision,” the Election Commission said in its statement.

The service can be accessed through the ECI portal voters.eci.gov.in and the ECINET mobile application. To use the facility, voters need to log in using their registered mobile number or complete the sign-up process through an OTP-based verification.

After logging in, voters can book a call by entering their EPIC number or reference number. Alternatively, they can provide details such as state, district, assembly constituency, and booth number. Once the request is submitted, the concerned BLO will contact the voter within 48 hours, the Commission stated.

The draft electoral roll for Uttar Pradesh was published on Tuesday following the Special Intensive Revision process. As per official data, 2.89 crore voters were excluded, while 12.55 crore voters were retained in the draft rolls.

Appealing to the public, Chief Electoral Officer of Uttar Pradesh, Navdeep Rinwa, urged voters to make full use of the new service. “Voters should make maximum use of the ‘Book-a-Call with BLO’ facility for any queries related to the Special Intensive Revision,” he said.

According to the SIR Daily Bulletin issued by the Chief Electoral Officer, the claims and objections period will remain open from January 6 to February 6, 2026. During this period, eligible voters can submit claims for inclusion and objections for deletion of names from the draft electoral rolls by following the prescribed procedures.

The Election Commission clarified that names will be added to the final electoral roll only after proper verification and after receiving the required declarations. The bulletin also stated that political parties have appointed Booth Level Agents (BLAs) to collect Form 6 (claims) and Form 7 (objections) from the public and submit them along with the necessary declarations.

“Generic complaints without prescribed forms or declarations are not counted,” the bulletin noted.

As per the bulletin, claims and objections were received from national and state political parties against the draft electoral roll comprising 12,55,56,025 electors.

Among national parties, the Bahujan Samaj Party submitted 1,53,469 claims for inclusion and 19 objections for exclusion.
