Welcome to Uttar Pradesh Elections
With 403 Assembly constituencies, Uttar Pradesh elects India’s largest state legislature and plays a pivotal role in national politics. The next Assembly election is expected in February–March 2027, although the official schedule will be announced by the Election Commission. Recent administrative changes to the Census timetable have reinforced expectations that polling will be conducted within this period.
The Uttar Pradesh Elections hub is part of RMN Election Hub, an initiative of RMN Democracy Monitor (RDM). It is designed as an evolving knowledge resource rather than a campaign-season project.
