Jharkhand Sets April Start for Single-Phase Special Revision of Voter Rolls

Officials aim to finish the exercise within 100 days using the 2003 list as the benchmark.

Overview

  • The Chief Electoral Officer has called a March 11 state-level meeting of district officials to finalize pre-revision arrangements.
  • Nearly 19.43 million of the state’s 26.56 million registered voters have already been verified ahead of the drive.
  • Door-to-door verification will commence after formal notification, with identity checks mandated across all levels.
  • The 2003 electoral roll will be the base for the revision, and voters listed in that roll will not need to re-establish eligibility.
  • Pre-revision scrutiny cancelled 368 of 3,208 applications submitted from other states after document discrepancies were found.
