The 2007 Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) Assembly elections preceded the current ones. According to Article 172, State Assemblies serve 5-year terms. Consequently, the subsequent elections were scheduled for 2012, five years after 2007 (1). These elections took place in early 2012. As of 2024, the most recent U.P. elections occurred in 2022, and the next are slated for 2027.
