The Election Commission of India says Uttarakhand’s voter list has been reduced by 11 lakh names in its latest update. The change comes ahead of upcoming state elections.
The Election Commission of India has announced that 11 lakh voter entries have been removed from Uttarakhand’s electoral roll in its most recent revision. The figure represents a significant contraction in the state’s registered electorate.
Uttarakhand, with a population of over 10 million, regularly updates its voter list to reflect demographic changes. The latest adjustment will be reflected in the rolls used for the forthcoming state assembly elections, influencing the total number of eligible voters.
Such revisions typically involve the deletion of deceased individuals, duplicate entries and voters who have shifted residence to other constituencies. The commission said the exercise aims to maintain the accuracy and integrity of the electoral roll.
Election officials have assured political parties and the public that the updated list will be made publicly available ahead of the polling schedule, allowing candidates to verify the eligibility of their supporters.
