Meghalaya’s draft electoral roll declines by 180,402 after SIR

The draft roll now lists 2.21 crore voters after verification removed 43,61,987 names under the Special Intensive Revision, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, the Election Commission published Jharkhand's draft electoral rolls, excluding over 43 lakh names following the completion of the Special Intensive Revision enumeration phase.
  • The SIR exercise, conducted from June 30 through July 29, sought to update and verify electoral rolls covering Jharkhand's 2.64 crore registered voters through field verification.
  • Jharkhand Chief Electoral Officer K Ravi Kumar reported 43,61,987 electors excluded under the Absent, Shifted, Dead, or Duplicate category; around 1.16 lakh voters refused to sign enumeration forms.
  • Election officials clarified that the draft roll is not final; eligible citizens whose names were omitted can apply for inclusion by submitting Form-6 during the claims and objections period.
  • Citizens have until September 4 to file claims and objections, providing a statutory window to verify their status and seek corrections if their names were wrongly proposed for deletion.
