The Hindu reported that more than 99.32 lakh names were removed during the SIR exercise. Other coverage gave a rounded or higher estimate: Hindustan Times and The New Indian Express described the number as nearly 1 crore, while India Today reported that more than 1 crore names had been deleted. The supplied reports do not establish one exact total.
The New Indian Express reported that the final roll contains approximately 4.54 crore voters. The publication’s reporting also described the total in rounded terms as 4.5 crore, indicating a difference in precision rather than a separate account of the electorate.
Hindustan Times reported a gender-category breakdown of more than 2.25 crore men, 2.29 crore women and 2,841 third-gender voters. Together, those figures provide the reported composition of the electorate after the revision.
Constituency-wise voter lists were made available on the Chief Electoral Officer’s website, The Hindu reported. The publication of those lists provides access to the revised records at constituency level, although the supplied material does not identify the authority that formally published the final roll or give reasons for individual deletions.
