# India's 2026 electoral roll revisions > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/indias-2026-electoral-roll-revisions > Updated: 2026-08-05T16:03:30.000Z. Sources: 10. Developments: 2. In July 2026 Arunachal Pradesh released a draft electoral roll covering about 81 % of its registered voters, opening a month‑long objection window before a final roll is expected in September. A week later Meghalaya published its draft roll, removing over 180,000 names flagged as absent, shifted, deceased or duplicate, and announced a similar objection period while adding new polling stations. Both states are conducting the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. On 5 August 2026 the SIR process was reported to have flagged large numbers of voters for possible deletion in several states. In Karnataka, nearly half of Bengaluru’s 10.3 million registered voters were placed in the ASDDO (Absent, Shifted, Duplicate, Dead, Others) category, with a verification deadline of 8 August. Meghalaya’s draft roll showed 1.80 lakh electors (7.68 % of its electorate) excluded under the same categories, reducing its roll to 21.69 lakh voters, and the state opened a one‑month window for claims. In Telangana’s Hyderabad district, 9.95 lakh electors (21 % of voters) were flagged, prompting a reverification order. Election officials stress that classification does not automatically delete names and that affected voters can appeal. The Karnataka Congress has alleged political bias, claiming the SIR is being used to delete over one crore voters, a charge the authorities deny. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-05: India's SIR Electoral Roll Revision Flags Millions for Deletion India's SIR electoral roll revision flags millions for deletion across Karnataka, Meghalaya and Hyderabad, sparking political accusations and urging voters to verify and appeal. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/meghalaya-publishes-draft-electoral-roll-for-2026-deletes-180402-voters ### 2026-07-21: Arunachal Pradesh Releases Draft Roll After 81% Voter Enumeration Arunachal Pradesh released a draft electoral roll on July 21, showing 718,046 voters (≈81% of 887,505) enumerated in the SIR; claims can be filed until Aug 20 and the final roll is due Sept 22. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/arunachal-pradesh-releases-draft-roll-after-81-voter-enumeration --- Cite as: India's 2026 electoral roll revisions.
