# Draft voter list on Nov 12, special drives in Noida, Ghaziabad 2026-10-22T00:59:20+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Election officials in Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddh Nagar (GB Nagar) are intensifying voter enrolment ahead of the publication of the draft electoral roll on 12 November. Ghaziabad will hold special registration drives on 24 and 25 October, while GB Nagar will organise another camp on 24 October after a similar exercise in earlier in October 2026. The draft roll is part of the special summary revision of electoral rolls, with 1 January 2027 as the qualifying date, the final roll is due on 4 January 2027. The drives target first-time voters, women, and other eligible residents missing from the rolls. Booth-level officers will be stationed at designated polling stations to help applicants fill Form 6 for name inclusion. In GB Nagar, the 17 October drive covered all three assembly constituencies, Noida, Dadri and Jewar, with help desks at 2,024 polling locations. Noida received 957 Form 6 applications, Dadri 1,118, and Jewar 272. The camps follow Election Commission directions amid a row over deletions from electoral rolls during the summary revision, which led to calls for the chief election commissioner's resignation by the opposition and the Cockroach Janta Party. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The special drives aim to reverse recent trends of large-scale deletions that drew political fire. Ghaziabad saw 5.7 lakh names removed in the final summary revision rolls published in April 2026, the second-highest percentage in Uttar Pradesh after Lucknow's 22.9 percent. Across GB Nagar, 3.6 lakh names were cut. The 24 and 25 October camps give eligible residents their last chance before the draft roll closes on 12 November. The administration's use of rickshaw-mounted loudspeakers in cities and traditional drums in rural areas signals an effort to reach those most likely to have been missed or removed. Whether the next draft roll shows a net increase in enrolments will test the effectiveness of these outreach measures. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Leads with official schedule and camp details, reports deletion figures and political row without adopting a side This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
