Jaipur, Nov 13: Rajasthan has more than 5.26 crore voters as per the draft electoral roll published following the Special Summary Revision (SSR) 2027, according to figures released by the state election department.
The draft roll, published on Thursday, contains names of more than 5.26 crore voters — with over 2.75 crore men, 2.51 crore women and 584 transgender voters.
The state election office on February 21 published the final roll under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), recording the names of more than 5.15 crore voters.
The two published figures show a numerical difference of 11.47 lakh. However, the SIR figure covered 199 Assembly constituencies, excluding Anta, while the latest draft has been released as a statewide total.
Rajasthan Chief Electoral Officer Naveen Mahajan said SSR 2027 is being conducted according to the Election Commission’s schedule, keeping January 1, 2027, as the qualifying date for eligibility.
According to the schedule, voters can submit claims and objections from November 12 to December 11. Electoral registration officers will dispose of the applications by December 28, and the final roll will be published on January 4, 2027.
Mahajan urged voters to check their names in the draft roll and submit applications if their names are missing or any corrections are required.
The department said copies of the draft roll have been provided free of cost to recognised political parties during meetings convened by electoral registration officers across assembly constituencies.
Political parties were given soft copies of the roll without photographs and hard copies for verification.
Voters can check their names on the election department’s website or contact booth-level officers, who have been provided booth-wise copies of the draft roll.
During the claims and objections period, applications received will be compiled every week and displayed outside the offices of the electoral registration officers. The lists will also be uploaded on the department’s website and shared with recognised political parties.
The department said Form 6 can be submitted for inclusion of names, Form 7 for objections to inclusion or deletion of names and Form 8 for corrections in electoral entries.
Voters dissatisfied with a decision of the electoral registration officer can file an appeal before the district magistrate within 15 days under Section 24 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950. (PTI)
