ECI orders Special Summary Revision of electoral rolls in Manipur
Elections to 60 Assembly seats in the conflict-scarred State are due by March 2027
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has mandated a Special Summary Revision (SSR) of the electoral rolls in Manipur, a conflict-affected state. Chief Electoral Officer Arun Kumar Sinha announced that January 1, 2027, would be the qualifying date for the SSR. The revision aims to enroll all eligible voters across all Assembly constituencies, including those who were previously left out, young, and first-time eligible electors.
The rationalization of polling stations is scheduled to be completed by November 2, 2026, ten days prior to the publication of the integrated draft electoral rolls. The final rolls are expected to be published on January 4, 2027, after claims and objections are addressed by December 28, 2026. Manipur’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls concluded in September, resulting in the deletion of 1,32,456 names, leaving the state with 19,60,620 eligible voters.
