IMPHAL, Nov 12: Manipur's draft electoral roll, published under the Special Summary Revision process ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, included 19,94,357 voters across the state's 60 Assembly constituencies.
The roll had 9,69,298 male voters, 10,24,735 female voters and 324 third-gender voters. Women voters outnumbered male voters by 55,437, Joint Chief Electoral Officer Lokeshwar Brahmacharimayum said.
He said women voters outnumbered men in every Assembly constituency across the state's 16 districts.
The draft roll showed an increase of about 33,700 voters over the final electoral roll published after the Special Intensive Revision process on September 6 this year. The earlier exercise deleted 1.89 lakh names and added 56,871 new voters, leaving the final roll with about 19.60 lakh voters.
January 1, 2027, has been set as the qualifying date for the revision. Citizens who turn 18 by that date and meet other prescribed conditions can apply for voter registration.
Claims and objections to the draft roll can be filed from November 12 to December 11, 2026. The authorities aim to dispose of them by December 28 and publish the final electoral roll on January 4, 2027.
Help centres have been set up in all 16 districts to assist eligible people whose names are missing from the roll, first-time voters, and people from backward and marginalised sections. Representatives of recognised national and state political parties were also briefed on the revision schedule and procedures on the day the draft roll was published.
