A total of 152 candidates contested the 11 seats.

What these seats are
These are not assembly elections. The Legislative Council is the state's upper house, and these seats are elected by registered graduates and teachers, not the general electorate. The next Uttar Pradesh assembly election is due by 2027.
What we do not yet report
Results of the other five seats were still being counted when the six above were declared. We will add them once they can be confirmed from an official source. Vote figures were not given in the report.
