Gujarat's Final Electoral Rolls Published with 4.40 Crore Voters
The Election Commission of India has officially released the final electoral rolls for Gujarat, revealing a total voter count of 4.40 crore eligible voters. This comprehensive list follows the completion of a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, which was conducted to ensure accuracy and inclusivity in the state's voter database.
Massive Administrative Effort Behind the Revision
According to an official release, the SIR work was successfully completed within the stipulated timeframe through the coordinated efforts of a vast administrative machinery. The revision involved the active participation of 34 district election officers, 182 voter registration officers, and 855 assistant voter registration officers across Gujarat.
At the grassroots level, the process was supported by 50,963 Booth Level Officers (BLOs) who played a crucial role in verifying and updating voter details. Additionally, a large number of volunteers contributed to ensuring the revision was thorough and efficient, highlighting the extensive human resource deployment for this electoral exercise.
Significance of the Final Electoral Rolls
The publication of these final rolls marks a critical step in preparing for future elections in Gujarat. With 4.40 crore voters now officially registered, the state's electoral framework is poised for democratic processes. The SIR initiative aimed to address discrepancies, include new eligible voters, and remove inaccuracies, thereby strengthening the integrity of the voter list.
This development is particularly significant in the context of Gujarat's political landscape, where voter enrollment directly impacts electoral outcomes and representation. The meticulous revision process underscores the Election Commission's commitment to maintaining transparent and reliable electoral systems.
The finalization of the rolls on February 17, 2026, as per the release, sets the stage for upcoming electoral activities, ensuring that all eligible citizens have the opportunity to participate in the democratic process.
