The counting of votes for the five-state Assembly polls, including in UP, will be held on March 11 with results expected the same day.
UP underwent seven-phase polls spread across almost a month.
The saffron party led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has pulled out all stops to capture power in the state where it has been on the margins for over 15 years.
