Uttarakhand Electoral Roll Sees Decrease of 8 Lakh Voters
The Uttarakhand Chief Electoral Officer's office reported a reduction of 8 lakh voters in the state's final electoral roll. The count decreased from 79.6 lakh voters recorded at the start of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in June.
The office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) for Uttarakhand has released updated figures regarding the state's electoral roll, noting a significant decrease in the total number of registered voters. According to official data, the electoral roll contained 79.6 lakh voters at the commencement of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process on June 8. Following the completion of this revision, the final electoral roll shows a reduction of approximately 8 lakh voters.
While the official figures confirm the drop in the total voter count, the report from the CEO's office does not provide a detailed breakdown of the specific reasons for this decline, such as the removal of duplicate entries, deceased voters, or those who have migrated out of the state. The electoral roll revision process is a standard administrative procedure conducted periodically to ensure the accuracy of voter data ahead of upcoming elections. The current data reflects the state of the rolls following the conclusion of the intensive revision exercise.
