Meghalaya published its final electoral rolls on Monday, 26 October, after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, listing 21,83,963 electors. The rolls include 10,59,743 males, 11,24,216 females and four third-gender electors. The gender ratio stands at 1,061. CEO B.D.R. Tiwari said 1,65,682 names were added during the SIR, an increase of 7.05% over the pre-revision rolls. The net increase from the draft rolls was 14,720 electors. Tiwari urged electors to verify their details on the CEO’s website and the ECI Voters’ Services Portal. Eligible citizens not in the rolls can apply using Form 6. Special enrolment camps will be held in all 12 districts.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both sources cover the same facts from the CEO’s announcement. Wyrta leads with the gross addition of 1.65 lakh names, while Times of India leads with the final tally and the gender ratio. Neither outlet adds political commentary or independent verification, each reproduces the official data and the CEO’s statement verbatim. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with no discernible slant. The next step is the special enrolment drive across all 12 districts, which the CEO’s office has announced will follow the publication of the final rolls.
