Neta·ResumeSpecial Intensive Revision, Phase III. 2 figures on record from Jul 2026 to Sep 2026.
| Stage | Electors | As of | Source | Tier | Flags |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Draft roll | 4,50,282 | 2026-07-21 | Chandigarh final roll adds net 9,927 electors to 4,60,209 |
A draft roll is not the final roll — names still return through claims and appeals.
The draft roll is published after enumeration. Names left off it can come back through claims and objections, and new electors are added, before the final roll is published. So the share left off the draft is usually larger than the net change from the pre-SIR roll to the final roll. Where a final roll isn't in the record yet, only the draft measure can be shown.
Figures run to Sep 2026. Several final rolls were still pending then.
No pre-SIR 'before' figure for Chandigarh was found in the record.

Every bar starts at zero. Differences are simple subtraction of the cited figures. A computed stage's method is in its note.
Replying to the debate, Home Minister Amit Shah said the SIR falls within the Commission's constitutional powers and cannot be answered by the government in Parliament, cited earlier intensive revisions under Congress governments, and said the exercise removes the dead, the shifted, duplicates and foreigners. When Rahul Gandhi asked him to debate his three press conferences, Shah said Parliament would not run to his wishes.
On the SIR's legal basis, raised in the debate: the Supreme Court's later judgment of 27 May 2026 on the Bihar SIR traced the Commission's power to Section 21(3) of the RP Act, 1950.
