The latest electoral roll for Uttarakhand, released by the Election Commission, records a drop of eight lakh voters compared to the previous draft.
The Election Commission of India has published the final electoral roll for Uttarakhand, revealing a reduction of eight lakh names from the earlier draft. The revision reflects deletions made after verification processes, which removed duplicate, deceased or otherwise ineligible entries.
Officials said the updated roll will be used for the upcoming state assembly elections, ensuring that only eligible voters are listed. The commission emphasized that the cleanup exercise is routine and aimed at maintaining the integrity of the electoral roll.
Political parties in the state have been notified of the changes and are expected to adjust their voter outreach strategies accordingly. The final roll will be available for public scrutiny at designated offices across Uttarakhand.
Election observers noted that such reductions are common after thorough cross‑checking, and they do not indicate any partisan bias. The updated roll is now the official list for all electoral activities in the state.
