The Election Commission of India has pushed back the deadline for Meghalaya's special intensive revision of the electoral roll, with the final list slated for release on October 26.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) announced that the deadline for the special intensive revision of Meghalaya's electoral roll has been extended. The revised timeline now sets the publication of the final roll for October 26.
The special intensive revision is a focused exercise aimed at updating voter information, removing duplicate or ineligible entries, and adding newly eligible residents. Such revisions are typically undertaken ahead of major elections to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the voter list.
By extending the deadline, the ECI seeks to give local authorities additional time to verify data and address grievances lodged by citizens. The final roll, once released on October 26, will serve as the definitive list for upcoming electoral contests in the state.
Election officials have urged voters to check their details on the provisional roll and submit any corrections before the new cut‑off date, emphasizing that a clean and up‑to‑date roll is essential for a free and fair voting process.
