96.88 crore individuals registered for Elections 2024, highest figure ever

In a monumental announcement, the Election Commission of India reveals that a record-breaking 96.88 crore individuals are registered to participate in the upcoming General Elections, solidifying India's position as the country with the largest electorate globally. This achievement follows extensive Special Summary Revision 2024 (SSR 2024) activities, resulting in the publication of comprehensive electoral rolls across all States/UTs with January 1, 2024, as the reference date.

Highlights from the SSR 2024 include remarkable inclusivity efforts, with over 96.88 crore voters registered, an increase in female voter enrollment surpassing male voters, and the addition of over 2 crore young electors aged 18-29. Rigorous scrutiny measures ensured the integrity of the electoral process, including house-to-house verification resulting in the deletion of deceased, shifted, and duplicate electors. Special focus on Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG) and continuous updation opportunities for unregistered electors further underscore the commitment to an inclusive and vibrant democracy.
