Uttarakhand Draft Electoral Roll Lists 71.33 Lakh Voters, 19 Lakh Under Verification
The draft electoral roll under the Special Intensive Revision includes 71.33 lakh voters in Uttarakhand, with about 19 lakh entries still under verification, according to ABP Live.
Current Summary
Uttarakhand's draft electoral roll under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists has shrunk by 8.25 lakh voters, with roughly 19 lakh entries flagged for further verification, according to a New Indian Express report published July 14, corroborating an earlier ABP Live report (July 14) that put the draft roll at 71.33 lakh voters with about 19 lakh entries under verification. A further New Indian Express report published July 15 states the audit has flagged unusual age discrepancies in the rolls, including entries listing parents as younger than 16. Dehradun's draft roll specifically lists 11.90 lakh names, with claims and objections open until August 13, District Magistrate Chauhan said, according to a Garhwal Post report published July 16. The reasons for the shrinkage, the scope of the age anomalies, the verification process, and the authority overseeing the revision remain unclear. Confirmation from the Election Commission of India or the state Chief Electoral Officer would be needed to establish the full scope and timeline of this revision ahead of the 2027 state assembly elections.
