The Election Commission of India’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Rajasthan has led to a major reshuffle of the state’s voter list, with 31.36 lakh names deleted and 12.91 lakh new voters added before the publication of the final roll.
Following the revision across 199 विधानसभा constituencies, the total electorate now stands at 5.15 crore, down from 5.46 crore before the SIR process began on October 27, 2025.
