Rajasthan SSR draft counts 1 1 L more voters than SIR list
Rajasthan's electoral rolls show significant discrepancies between three different official counts, creating confusion regarding the state's voter population. The ECI-linked SSR draft, the SIR roll, and the SEC roll all provide conflicting figures.
Why it matters
Discrepancies in voter rolls can undermine public trust in the integrity of the electoral process.
JAIPUR: Rajasthan's latest draft electoral roll, published Thursday under the Special Summary Revision (SSR) 2027, has produced a fresh numbers puzzle. It records about 5.26 crore voters - about 11 lakh more than the 5.15 crore in the final Special Intensive Revision (SIR) roll published in Feb.But the number is still far below another official figure in circulation: State Election Commission's final electoral roll, which stood at 5.45 crore voters in early Oct.That leaves Rajasthan with three voter counts in less than a year - 5.15 crore in the final SIR roll, 5.45 crore in the SEC roll, and now 5.26 crore in the ECI-linked SSR draft. The latest figure sits between the two, but does not settle the central question: why official rolls for the same state show such wide variation.
