Chennai, Feb 23 || Tamil Nadu’s final electoral roll has been officially published on Monday following an extensive Special Intensive Revision (SIR) undertaken in compliance with directions from the Election Commission of India and the Supreme Court.
The revision, which forms a crucial prelude to the forthcoming Assembly elections, has led to substantial changes in the state’s voter database, including large-scale deletions and corrections.
District Election Officers, who are also District Collectors, have begun releasing district-wise figures across the state.
Tamil Nadu Chief Electoral Officer Archana Patnaik is scheduled to address a press conference in Chennai, where she will formally present the updated electorate data and explain the key outcomes of the revision process.
The comprehensive exercise has resulted in the deletion of 97,37,831 names from the draft electoral roll after the scrutiny of Special Summary Correction Enumeration Forms.
Following these deletions, the total number of electors in Tamil Nadu now stands at 5.43 crore.
