The Election Commission of India (ECI) has published the updated draft electoral rolls on Tuesday (December 16, 2025), shortly after uploading the list of voters whose names were deleted under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process.
The names of more than 58 lakh voters have been deleted on various grounds, including death, migration and non-submission of enumeration forms.
After these deletions, the State’s draft electoral rolls are expected to carry the names of 7,08,16,631 voters, 58,20,898 fewer than 7,66,37,529, which was the electorate before SIR, according to official data.
The draft that had undergone the SIR exercise will be available both online and offline, according to the Commission.
With the Assembly elections due next year, this has marked the beginning of the anticipated electoral process.
