The Election Commission of India will review preparations for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections across 18 western districts at a meeting in Meerut on Monday, bringing senior election, administrative and police officials together to assess arrangements ahead of the poll process.
The review will begin at 10.30am at Urja Bhawan, the headquarters of Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam, in Saket, Meerut. Senior deputy election commissioner Manish Garg and other senior ECI officials will examine the progress reported by district administrations.
Uttar Pradesh chief electoral officer Navdeep Rinwa and senior officials from the office of the chief electoral officer will also attend the meeting. The participating districts fall under the Meerut, Saharanpur, Moradabad and Aligarh divisions, making the exercise a coordinated review across a substantial administrative area of western Uttar Pradesh.
The 18 districts included in the review are Meerut, Baghpat, Bulandshahr, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Ghaziabad, Hapur, Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, Amroha, Bijnor, Moradabad, Rampur, Sambhal, Aligarh, Etah, Hathras and Kasganj.
Divisional commissioners, police commissioners, inspectors general, deputy inspectors general, district election officers and senior police officials, including SSPs and SPs, from the respective jurisdictions have been asked to attend. Their participation places civil administration, election machinery and policing arrangements within the same review framework.
Officials have been directed to present PowerPoint presentations detailing the progress of election preparations and administrative arrangements in their districts. The presentations will allow the commission to review the status reported by each district and assess how preparations are being coordinated across the four divisions.
The meeting is part of the Election Commission’s preparations for the 2027 Assembly elections. The supplied report does not specify the election schedule, the date of polling or any new changes to electoral procedures. It also does not disclose district-wise findings from the review before the meeting.
For residents across the 18 districts, the review represents an early administrative stage in the preparation of a large election exercise. The involvement of district election officers, divisional authorities and senior police officials indicates that the process covers both election administration and related law-and-order arrangements. Further details will depend on the assessment presented by the participating districts and any subsequent directions issued by the commission.
