The Election Commission of India (ECI) has successfully completed the Special Summary Revision (SSR) of Electoral Rolls across the country, with the final rolls published on January 6th and 7th, 2025. This comprehensive exercise covered nearly 10.5 lakh polling booths spread across 4,123 Assembly Constituencies. It saw the active participation of over 13.87 lakh Booth Level Agents (BLAs) appointed by political parties, reflecting a high level of stakeholder engagement.

The SSR also incorporated updates for States and Union Territories that conducted Assembly elections following the Lok Sabha elections held in 2024. As a result of this inclusive and transparent process, the total number of electors in the country now stands at 99.22 crore. More than 10.49 lakh Booth Level Officers (BLOs) were engaged in facilitating the revision.

A significant highlight of this exercise is the remarkably low number of appeals filed under Section 24 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950. Only 89 first-level appeals were received by District Magistrates and District Election Officers, and just one second-level appeal was filed with the Chief Electoral Officer. This extremely low number of grievances is a clear indicator of the widespread acceptance and satisfaction with the revised electoral rolls.

The Commission notes that such minimal recourse to the appeals mechanism affirms the accuracy, inclusiveness, and transparency of the SSR 2025 process. With active participation from political parties, administrative officials, and the public, the Election Commission reiterates that the Electoral Rolls published post-SSR 2025 are final and undisputed.
