Rajasthan draft voter roll lists 11 lakh more than SIR roll
Rajasthan’s latest draft voter roll lists about 5.26 crore people ahead of the 2027 election roll revision.
That is about 11 lakh more than the final Special Intensive Revision roll, but about 18 lakh fewer than the State Election Commission’s roll from early October.
The three official counts differ widely, and the latest draft does not explain why.
The gap partly reflects different methods: the intensive revision uses house-to-house checks, while the summary revision generally carries forward existing voters and makes updates.
The draft is open to claims and corrections from November 12 to December 11.
Eligible people can ask to be added, removed or corrected, and those who will turn 18 by January 1, 2027, can apply for enrolment.
The final roll is due on January 4, 2027, after voters have had a chance to check their details.
Rajasthan’s draft electoral roll lists about 5.26 crore voters, around 11 lakh more than the final Special Intensive Revision roll.
The draft count is about 18 lakh below the State Election Commission’s roll published in early October.
The three official rolls have reported 5.15 crore, 5.45 crore and 5.26 crore voters, leaving a significant gap between counts.
The draft was published under the Special Summary Revision 2027, with claims and objections open from November 12 to December 11.
The final roll is scheduled for publication on January 4, 2027.
