Thiruvananthapuram, February 21: The Election Commission of India on Saturday, February 21, 2026, published the final electoral roll for the 2026 Kerala Assembly elections, with the total number of registered voters standing at 2,69,53,644. The updated roll reflects a major clean-up drive and shows a net reduction of nearly 9 lakh names compared to the draft list released in late 2025.

The revision followed a Special Intensive Revision process aimed at improving the accuracy of the voter database. A total of 8,97,211 names were deleted from the October 2025 base roll, which had recorded more than 2.78 crore voters. Officials cited deaths, permanent relocation, acquisition of foreign citizenship, and duplicate entries as the primary reasons for removal. During the draft roll scrutiny alone, 53,229 entries were struck off under categories such as absent, shifted, or deceased voters.

With the Kerala Assembly elections approaching, officials have urged voters to immediately verify their names in the final electoral roll to avoid last-minute issues. SIR in Kerala: Election Commission to Hold Meeting With Political Parties on September 20 As State Gears for SIR of Voter Lists Ahead of 2026 Assembly Polls.
