Electoral registration officers in Manipur on Sunday published photo electoral rolls for all of the state’s 60 Assembly constituencies as part of the special intensive revision process.The total number of voters in Manipur as per the final electoral rolls stands at 19,60,620, while the number of voters before the publication of the draft list was 20,93,076. This means that 6.33% voters were left out of the voter rolls after the final list was published.The Manipur chief electoral officer said that 1,58,677 voters whose enumeration forms were not received back were excluded from the draft electoral rolls.The draft electoral rolls, which had 19,34,399 voters, were published on July 5. Out of these voters, a total of 18,43,221 were mapped either as self or as the children of voters, while 91,178 voters were unmapped.The authorities issued notices to the unmapped voters, as well as to 11,30,655 voters with “logical discrepancies”, which refer to situations such as a mismatch in parents’ names, a small age gap between parents and children or parents being recorded as having more than six children.Over 96,000 claims and objections were filed from July 5 to August 4, and were processed for the final rolls.At the end of this process, a total of 56,871 voters were included in the rolls, while 30,650 electors were deleted from the list, the state chief electoral officer stated in a press release.Manipur was among 19 states and Union Territories where the voter roll revision was being carried out in the third phase of the special intensive revision.In 2025, the first phase of the exercise was conducted in Bihar. It was extended to 12 states and Union Territories, including West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, in the second phase in late 2025 and the first half of 2026.Since the exercise began, concerns have been raised that the revision could eliminate genuine voters from the rolls and even shape electoral outcomes, as Scroll has reported.Edited by Neerad Pandharipande.Also read: Bihar to Bengal, the great Indian disenfranchisement now has the Supreme Court’s approval
