The state election office announced that the final electoral roll will be published on October 26, following the resolution of 93% of SIR notice cases and the start of doorstep document collection.
Meghalaya's State Election Commission has pushed back the release of the final electoral roll to October 26. The decision comes after the commission completed verification of the majority of pending SIR (Statement of Intent to Register) notices.
According to the commission's data, 93% of the SIR notice cases have been cleared, allowing the roll‑updating process to move forward without major legal challenges.
To facilitate the remaining verification, election officials have begun a door‑to‑door collection of supporting documents from voters across the state. The outreach aims to ensure that all eligible residents are accurately reflected in the final list.
Election officials indicated that the extended deadline will give sufficient time to incorporate the newly collected information and address any residual discrepancies before the roll is finalized.
The updated roll will be crucial for upcoming local elections, as it determines voter eligibility and constituency boundaries in Meghalaya.
