Bhopal, February 21 The Election Commission of India released the final electoral roll for Madhya Pradesh on Saturday, following a nearly four-month-long Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, which removed over 34 lakh names from the list.
According to the final electoral roll, the state now has more than 5.39 crore voters.
According to data released by the EC, Madhya Pradesh had 5,74,06,143 voters before the SIR began in October last year.
While the number stood at 5,31,31,983 voters after the draft roll was published, the final figure rose to 5,39,81,065.
The Election Commission said that 34,25,078 names, approximately 6 per cent of the number before SIR, were removed due to reasons such as absence, death, migration, and duplication.
Officials said that the final electoral roll comprises 2,79,04,975 male voters, 2,60,75,186 female voters, and 904 electors from the third gender.
State Chief Electoral Officer Sanjeev Kumar Jha said at a press conference that the EC has also shared a website link, enabling the public to check their names in the updated list.
