Manipur Chief Minister Y. Khemchand Singh on Monday (July 6, 2026) exuded confidence that the final electoral roll after a special intensive revision would be inclusive and error-free, a day after the poll panel released draft lists where 1,58,677 names were omitted.

The draft lists were released on Sunday (July 5) after the counting phase of the exercise was completed, retaining 19.34 million voters. Those who were not included in the proposals can submit complaints and objections from July 5 to August 4.

The final list of voters will be published on September 6. After attending a workshop on Phase-II Special Intensive Review (SIR) at the state BJP office, the chief minister said he was confident that the exercise would be inclusive and the final voter list would be error-free.

State BJP president and Rajya Sabha MP A. Sharda Devi, Home Minister K. Govindas Singh, former MP Vinod Sonkar, MLAs and senior BJP leaders also attended the workshop.

In a social media post, Mr. Singh said, “The workshop focused on the draft electoral roll released by the Election Commission of India after the successful completion of the SIR enumeration phase during which more than 19.34 lakh forms were collected.”

“I am confident that the final electoral roll will be accurate and inclusive. The Government of Manipur remains committed to supporting the conduct of free, fair, transparent and credible elections.” Mr. Singh added.
