Background: The Special Summary Revision after SIR
Around 8.27 lakh names were deleted at the draft stage of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) that led to the 3 October roll, according to Outlook India. The SSR is shorter. It is meant for first-time voters and people left out of the SIR roll. More state coverage is on our Uttarakhand page.
What happens next
Claims and objections on the Uttarakhand draft voter list stay open from 12 November to 11 December. Hearings run until 28 December. The Election Commission has fixed 4 January 2027 for the final roll, PTI reported, and the chief electoral officer’s website lists the draft under SSR Draft Roll 2027.
The roll will decide who can vote in the 2027 Assembly elections, and anyone left out after the SIR deletions has until 11 December to apply. Hearings until 28 December and the final roll on 4 January 2027 set the timeline for fixing errors.
