Punjab Releases Draft Electoral Roll for 2027 Elections with Voter List Revisions
The Election Commission of India is releasing the Punjab draft electoral roll for the 2027 Assembly elections, reducing the voter count by 20.66 lakh due to removals of absent, deceased, duplicate, or relocated voters. The draft includes 12.80 lakh voters needing verification during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). In Panchkula and Kalka, nearly one lakh voters were removed after the SIR Phase-2 survey. Officials are working to ensure accurate voter lists and encourage eligible voters to verify their registration before the August 30 deadline.
