Draft voter list on Nov 12, special drives in Noida, Ghaziabad

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.
