Election Commission Announces Special Summary Revision of Electoral Rolls in 17 States and UTs
The Election Commission of India has announced a Special Summary Revision (SSR) of electoral rolls in 17 states and Union Territories, with January 1, 2027, as the qualifying date. This routine exercise aims to update voter lists by enrolling eligible new voters, especially young and first-time electors, correcting errors, and removing invalid entries. The SSR follows the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in some regions and addresses concerns about voter deletions and enrolment delays. Draft rolls will be published on November 12, with final rolls due January 4, 2027, ahead of upcoming assembly elections in several states.
