EC extends Nagaland voter roll revision deadline to November 25
The Story in Brief
The Election Commission has extended the timeline for filing claims and objections in the Special Intensive Revision of Nagaland's electoral rolls to November 25. The final electoral roll will be published on November 30.
In a letter dated October 29, the poll panel revised the notice and disposal phase to run from September 20 to November 25, Chief Electoral Officer Bhagyshree Banayat said in a statement. The revision follows requests from the concerned chief electoral officers.
Nagaland is among five states and the Union Territory of Delhi whose SIR schedules were tweaked. Andhra Pradesh and Haryana now close on November 20, Telangana on November 26. All four states will publish final rolls on November 30.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The extension gives Nagaland voters an extra week to correct their electoral rolls before the November 30 deadline. The state is one of five along with Delhi where the Election Commission adjusted the SIR timeline after requests from chief electoral officers. Any citizen or party can still file claims or objections until November 25. The final roll on November 30 will determine who votes in future elections. The Commission has not said whether this extension relates to any specific administrative challenge in Nagaland.
