Meghalaya and Jharkhand Publish Draft Electoral Rolls After Special Intensive Revision
The Election Commissions of Meghalaya and Jharkhand have published draft electoral rolls following Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercises involving door-to-door verification. Meghalaya's electorate decreased by about 180,402 voters due to identification of deceased, shifted, untraceable, and duplicate entries, reducing the total to approximately 2.17 million. Jharkhand removed over 4.3 million names, lowering its draft roll to 22.1 million voters. Both states have opened a claims and objections period from August 5 to September 4, allowing affected electors to verify or contest their status before final lists are finalized.
