The drive aims to add back 3.88 lakh voters who were marked absent or permanently shifted. Seven assembly constituencies—Bairasia, Huzur, Bhopal North, Bhopal Central, Narela, Govindpura, and South-West—will host these camps. The deleted entries primarily consisted of 1,01,503 absent voters and 2,86,661 permanently shifted individuals.

Additionally, young voters who will turn 18 by January 1, 2027, can now register in advance via Form 6, bypassing the self-declaration requirement.",
