The Election Commission of India (ECI) has introduced a new voter-centric digital service, "Book-a-Call with BLO", to improve accessibility and transparency during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Uttar Pradesh. The facility has been launched while the claims and objections window remains open till February 6, 2026, offering voters a direct communication channel with election officials.
According to an official statement, voters can now book a phone call with their respective booth level officer (BLO) to seek guidance or clarification related to the electoral roll. This includes assistance for inclusion, deletion, or correction of voter details, ensuring smoother participation in the revision process.
The facility can be accessed through:
The ECI voter portal – voters.eci.gov.in
The ECINET mobile application
After logging in using a registered mobile number or completing the OTP-based sign-up process, voters can proceed to book a call.
Voters can schedule a call by:
Entering their EPIC number or reference number, or
Providing alternative 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 draft electoral roll for Uttar Pradesh was published on Tuesday following the SIR process. As per official data:
2.89 crore voters were excluded
12.55 crore voters were retained
This revision exercise is aimed at improving the accuracy of the voter database ahead of future elections.
Chief Electoral Officer of Uttar Pradesh Navdeep Rinwa urged voters to actively use the newly launched facility for resolving queries related to the Special Intensive Revision.
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

The Election Commission stated that names will be added to the final electoral roll only after verification and receipt of the requisite declarations.
Political parties have appointed booth level agents (BLAs) to:
Collect Form 6 (inclusion claims)

By enabling direct interaction with BLOs, the EC aims to reduce confusion, address grievances quickly, and ensure that eligible voters are not left out of the electoral process.
