The Commission released the final electoral roll after completing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) conducted across the state over the past four months, which included a detailed verification of every voter listed in the previous electoral roll.
"After the publication of the draft voter list, the number of remaining voters who were registered stood at 53,131,983, and the final voter list includes the names of 53,981,065 voters. Thus, a net addition of 849,082 voters has been recorded after the draft voter list," the ECI said in a press note.
The Commission said that the final electoral roll has been published after extensive and effective action in various phases for about four months under this campaign, which started across the state from October 27, 2025.
The claims and objections regarding the SIR pertain to the inclusion, deletion, and amendment of names in the voter list.
As per the directives of the ECI, the SIR campaign of the electoral roll was launched in Madhya Pradesh on October 27, 2025, along with several other states, including Chhattisgarh.
It further said that the list of absentees, transferred, deceased, and duplicate entries of respective Assembly constituencies was published on the website of the concerned District Election Officer and Chief Election Officer.

The entire SIR was conducted by 533 Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), 71,930 Block Level Officers (BLOs), and numerous volunteers actively participated in completing the SIR within the stipulated time.
