The final electoral roll for Uttarakhand has been updated with an addition of 8.26 lakh voters following the completion of the Supplementary Incremental Revision (SIR).
The Election Commission of India has announced that Uttarakhand’s final electoral roll now includes an additional 8.26 lakh eligible voters. This increase comes after the completion of the Supplementary Incremental Revision (SIR), a routine exercise aimed at updating voter lists across the state.
The SIR process, conducted periodically, incorporates new registrations, removes ineligible entries and corrects existing data. The latest round has resulted in the highest single‑session addition of voters in recent years for Uttarakhand.
Election officials said the updated roll will be used for upcoming state and national elections, ensuring that newly eligible citizens can exercise their franchise. No further details on the total size of the roll were disclosed.
The commission urged citizens to verify their details on the new roll and to report any discrepancies promptly.
The update reflects the ongoing effort to broaden electoral participation ahead of the next scheduled polls.
