India’s draft voter rolls for Madhya Pradesh, with ~41.8L names potentially removed, release Dec. 23, 2025.

The Election Commission of India will release the draft electoral rolls for Madhya Pradesh on December 23, 2025, following a door-to-door Special Intensive Revision (SIR) that began November 4. Preliminary data suggests about 41.8 lakh voter names—7.2% of the electorate—may be removed due to death, migration, absence, or duplicate registrations, with major drops expected in Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, and Jabalpur. The SIR, involving over 65,000 officers, covered 6.65 crore voters across 55 districts and 230 Assembly seats. The process is ongoing in five states and one Union Territory. The Congress party has raised concerns about irregularities. Final rolls will be published in February 2026, and voters can check their status online.
