Noida assembly elections will be held between 7 am and 6 pm on February 10 during the first phase of the UP Vidhan Sabha elections.
Noida Assembly Constituency
Noida is one of the three assembly constituencies of Gautam Budhh Nagar district, others being Dadri and Jewar. All three assembly constituencies are currently represented by BJP leaders with Pankaj Singh in Noida, Tejpal Nagar in Dadri and Dhirendra Singh in Jewar as MLAs.
There are 1754 polling stations and 552 polling centers in the district.
7 Lakh Voters in Noida!
Gautam Buddh Nagar has 16.23 lakh enrolled voters. In terms of assembly seats, Noida has 6.90 lakh voters, Dadri has 5.86 lakh and Jewar 3.46 lakh voters.
As many as 82,939 voters have been added and 27,917 deleted from the electoral roll from across the three assembly constituencies in Gautam Buddh Nagar ahead of the Uttar Pradesh elections.
Interestingly, there is a 32% increase in voters in Noida from 5.24 lakh voters and nearly 33% jump in voter count in Dadri from 4.41 lakh from the previous list of general elections 2019. It could be attributed to the fluid migrant population of Noida and Greater Noida (Dadri seat) compared to Jewar, which has majorly a stable rural population.
State assembly elections held independently are completely borne by the state government. When held simultaneously with Lok Sabha elections, the central and the respective state governments share it on a 50:50 basis.
Get enrolled to Poll
People can log on to the NVSP web portal to check their names in the voter list and also to get enrolled online. Fill the form as per the details provided on the website. EPIC card would be delivered via speed post. Changes in the voter list will not be possible once the nominations of candidates is finalized by the Election Commission. Hence, people who do not have their names included in the voter list need to get it done immediately.
The election commission has hiked the poll expenditure limit for contesting candidates due to the rise in the cost inflation index and the size of the electorate. For a large state like Uttar Pradesh it’s revised to 40 lakh for state assembly elections and 95 lakh for contesting Lok Sabha seat.
