EC says new voter entries no longer wait for roll revision

The Election Commission of India issued a clarification stating that individuals seeking inclusion in the electoral roll can now be registered without waiting for the scheduled roll revision. Under the new guideline, the continuous registration process will handle fresh entries, while the periodic revision will continue to address corrections and deletions. This move is intended to streamline voter enrollment ahead of upcoming elections and reduce delays for new voters. The commission emphasized that the change does not affect the integrity of the roll, as verification mechanisms remain in place. The notice was released through an official press release and has been circulated to state election officers for implementation.
