Over 2.7 Crore New Young Voters Added to Electoral Rolls Since June 2025, EC Explains Process
Since June 2025, over 2.7 crore new voters aged 18 to 28 have been added to India's electoral rolls during the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. The EC clarified that voter registration continues through regular updates beyond annual revisions, allowing eligible citizens to register without waiting for formal roll revisions. A new declaration requirement linked to parents' SIR records was introduced in Bihar's SIR, making it mandatory for first-time voters using Form 6 to provide this information, though the form itself remains unchanged.
