According to data from the District Election Officer’s office, 83,514 applications were submitted through Form 6 for new voter registration and inclusion of names in the electoral roll. Another 32,880 applications were received through Form 8 for corrections, changes of residence and replacement of Elector Photo Identity Cards (EPICs).

Minal Kalaskar, Deputy District Election Officer, Pune, clarified that the 1,17,818 applications represent submissions received during the revision drive and do not indicate the final number of voters added to the electoral roll. The applications must undergo scrutiny, verification and formal approval before names are added or existing entries are changed or deleted.
Kalaskar said the figures reflected citizen participation despite rumours and scepticism surrounding the SIR process. “It is not a one-way process. It is a two-way process. Citizens need to understand this, and those spreading rumours should stop,” she said.
She also appealed to eligible citizens whose names are not yet on the electoral roll to come forward and cooperate with government officials during the revision process.
