  "summary": "Uttarakhand has released its final electoral roll following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, although the voter enrolment exercise is not yet complete. The Election Commission of India has directed the state to run a \"special drive\" to identify and enroll voters who were present on the pre-SIR roll but have disappeared from the current list. Booth Level Officers (BLOs) have been instructed to visit these identified voters at their homes, facilitate their enrolment if they are eligible, and also register first-time and young eligible voters. The process will involve the use of specific forms prescribed for the post-SIR period, and political parties have been informed to share the list of identified electors with the Election Commission. The final roll contains 71,58,949 electors, an increase of 25,164 over the draft roll, but still falls short of the electorate at the beginning of the SIR exercise by about 8.02 lakh.",
