Neta·ResumeSpecial Intensive Revision, Phase II. 4 figures on record from Oct 2025 to Feb 2026.
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.
left_off: Deccan Herald reports 73.73 lakh (14.5%) omitted directly; the roll and omitted figures are each rounded and do not subtract to exactly this count.
| Stage | Electors | As of | Source | Tier | Flags |
|---|
| Before the SIR | 5,08,43,436 | 2025-10-27 | SIR Phase II covers 50.99 crore electors in 12 States/UTs | TIER 1 · PRIMARY | — |
| Draft roll | 4,34,00,000 | 2025-12-19 | Gujarat draft roll: 73.73 lakh names omitted, 4.34 crore valid | TIER 3 · PRESS | rounded |
| Final roll | 4,40,30,725 | 2026-02-17 | Gujarat final roll: 4,40,30,725 electors, 5.60 lakh above draft | TIER 3 · PRESS | — |
Every bar starts at zero. Differences are simple subtraction of the cited figures. A computed stage's method is in its note.
From 24 June 2025, anyone in Bihar applying to be a new elector on Form 6, or shifting in from another state on Form 8, also had to file a Declaration Form (Annexure D) stating their birth-date tier and attaching documents from the SIR list. The requirement was written into the SIR order and guidelines, not into the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, where Form 6 is prescribed. Pending Form 6 applications also had to be supplemented with the declaration.
The Supreme Court judgment of 27.05.2026 records the Annexure D requirement among the features of the order it upheld (para 45(f)).
The SIR orders the Commission cites prescribe a separate Declaration Form, headed 'To be submitted along with Form 6/Form 8'. The record holds no notified amendment to Form 6 in the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960 (per The Indian Express's review of the Gazette, noted on sir-rules-annexure-d-declaration). The before/after text is on the rules page.
