The Election Commission of India has initiated the second phase of the Special Voter List Revision, encompassing nine states and three Union Territories, representing an electorate of around 51 crore voters. This nationwide electoral update aims to ensure accuracy and inclusivity in voter registration. The process will conclude with the publication of the final voter list on February 7, 2026. The first phase of the exercise was completed in Bihar, covering 7.42 crore voters. The ongoing phase includes states like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, while Assam remains excluded due to Supreme Court-led citizenship verification.
