The draft electoral roll for Meghalaya has been trimmed by 180,402 entries following the State Information Report (SIR). The Election Commission of India released the updated figures to reflect the latest data.
The Election Commission of India announced that the draft electoral roll for the northeastern state of Meghalaya has been reduced by 180,402 names after the State Information Report (SIR) was processed.
The SIR, which compiles updated voter information from local authorities, prompted a comprehensive review of the existing roll. As a result, a significant number of entries were found to be outdated or duplicated, leading to the noted decline.
The Commission will incorporate these changes into the final electoral roll, ensuring that the list of eligible voters is accurate ahead of upcoming elections. Officials have emphasized that the revised roll will help prevent discrepancies and improve the integrity of the voting process.
Voters in Meghalaya are advised to check the updated roll for any changes that may affect their registration status. The Election Commission has set a deadline for any objections or corrections to be submitted before the final roll is published.
