Uttarakhand Voter List: Draft Roll on 12 Nov, Claims Till 11 Dec

Uttarakhand will publish its draft electoral roll on 12 November 2026, and voters can file claims and objections from that day until 11 December, under a special summary revision ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. Chief Electoral Officer BVRC Purushottam told recognised national parties that 1 January 2027 is the qualifying date, Outlook reported, and Amar Ujala’s morning round-up carried the same schedule on 11 November.

A Month to Add or Fix Your Name

Anyone who turns 18 on or before 1 January 2027 can apply to be added. Form 6 is the form for inclusion, and Form 7 is used to object to an entry. Outlook reported that one person can submit up to 10 Form 7 applications during the claims period. Hearings on claims continue until 28 December.

Check the draft roll on 12 November rather than waiting for the final list: a name missing then can be added during the month-long window, while a name left out of the final roll on 4 January cannot be fixed before polling without a fresh application.

After the Special Intensive Revision

The exercise follows the special intensive revision, which cut Uttarakhand’s electorate from about 79.6 lakh to 71.6 lakh in the final roll published on 3 October, a fall of 10.1 per cent. Outlook reported that about 8.27 lakh names were flagged as absent, shifted, dead or duplicate at the draft stage, and that Form 6 applications received in the 12-20 October drive numbered 1,00,744.

The state’s Congress unit has alleged misuse of Form 7 to delete voters. IPB’s earlier report on the post-SIR voter rolls in poll-bound states has the wider numbers, and every roll story is collected under the Election Commission tag.

Final Roll on 4 January

The final roll is due on 4 January 2027. First-level checking of EVMs and VVPAT machines was also scheduled to begin across the state, Outlook reported, though no polling date has been announced.
