Madhya Pradesh has added 8.19 lakh voters since the final SIR roll, raising the state's electorate to 5.48 crore.
The Election Commission of India announced that Madhya Pradesh’s voter list has grown by 8.19 lakh names since the final State Information Register (SIR) was published. The updated roll now records 5.48 crore eligible voters in the state.
The increase reflects the ongoing efforts to bring more citizens into the electoral fold, including outreach in rural and remote areas. Officials say the new registrations were verified through a combination of biometric checks and cross‑referencing with existing records.
With the electorate now larger than before, the state is preparing for the upcoming elections, ensuring that polling stations and voting equipment are scaled to accommodate the higher turnout. The Election Commission has also urged voters to check their details on the official portal to confirm their registration status.
