The final list of voters for the Panchayat elections in Jammu and Kashmir will be published on January 20. This is an important step for the upcoming elections, and it follows a big update of the voter rolls by the State Election Commission (SEC).
During this update, about 370,000 new voters were added to the list, while around 100,000 voters were removed. This means that the total number of voters in the rural areas is expected to be just a few thousand short of 7 million.
The update process took nearly two months and was supervised by State Election Commissioner BR Sharma. Many staff members worked under the guidance of local Deputy Commissioners to make sure the voter list is accurate and up-to-date.
Although officials have not shared exact numbers, sources say that the SEC has worked hard to ensure the voter list reflects the current population. The release of the final voter list is a key step in getting ready for the Panchayat elections, which are important for local governance and community representation.
As January 20 approaches, people are looking forward to seeing the final list and are eager to vote in the upcoming elections. The SEC’s efforts to keep the voter list accurate show their commitment to a fair and transparent election process in Jammu and Kashmir.
