Election Commission Delays 2026-27 Electoral Roll Revision Amid Internal Disagreement
The Election Commission of India has delayed the 2026-27 annual Summary Revision of electoral rolls, which typically updates voter lists including new voters turning 18. This delay, ongoing since January 2024, is linked to disagreements between Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi. Sandhu and Joshi argue that the Special Intensive Revision in Bihar should not halt the regular revision and have sought to resume it, citing the electoral-roll manual. Kumar has sought legal advice on the matter, but the disagreement persists.
