The updated electoral roll comprises 15,35,294 male voters, 13,15,656 female voters and 110 third gender voters.

In terms of age distribution, 38,053 voters fall in the 18 to 19 age group, 27,99,560 are between 20 and 84 years and 13,447 are aged 85 and above. Overall, the final electoral roll of Kanpur shows a reduction of 6,87,201 (6.87 lakh) voters across the district's 10 assembly constituencies- a drop of nearly 20% compared to the 2024 figures of 35,38,261 (35.38 lakh) voters.

He said eligible citizens who have not yet enrolled can still apply for inclusion by submitting Form 6. The highest number of deletions were recorded in Kalyanpur, Cantonment and Maharajpur constituencies. Bithoor and Ghatampur saw the fewest removals. Between October 27, 2025 and April 1, 2026, authorities approved 2,38,204 Form 6 applications for fresh inclusion, 27,097 Form 7 applications for deletion and 76,636 Form 8 applications for corrections to existing entries.
