The Mizoram SIR 2026 electoral roll drop has resulted in a net reduction of 39,199 registered voters compared with the electorate covered before the Special Intensive Revision began. However, the final roll itself recorded a net increase of 6,963 voters over the draft list. The final electoral roll, published on September 7, contains 8,35,869 electors across Mizoram.
The figures show why the two comparisons matter. Before SIR, authorities covered 8,75,068 electors, while the draft roll contained 8,28,906 names. During the claims and objections period, officials added 39,243 electors and deleted 32,280 names. Consequently, the final list reached 8,35,869 electors.

Mizoram SIR 2026 Electoral Roll Drop Compared With Pre-SIR List
The Mizoram SIR 2026 electoral roll drop amounts to 39,199 voters when the final roll is compared with the 8,75,068 electors covered before the revision. The final figure of 8,35,869 therefore represents a decline of about 4.47% from the pre-SIR electorate.
However, the final roll did not shrink compared with the draft roll. Instead, it grew by 6,963 electors. The draft published on July 4 contained 8,28,906 names, while the final list published on September 7 contained 8,35,869 names.
This difference resulted from the extensive claims and objections process. Officials added 39,243 electors after examining applications and other information, while they removed 32,280 entries. The additions therefore exceeded the deletions by 6,963 names.
The figures also show that the initial reduction after enumeration did not represent the final outcome. Instead, the Election Department continued examining cases until the claims and objections process ended on September 2.
Therefore, the final roll provides a more complete picture of the revision. It reflects additions, deletions and corrections made after the draft publication rather than simply carrying forward the July figure.
SIR Enumeration Leaves 46,162 Forms Unreceived
The revision began with enumeration across all districts of Mizoram. Authorities distributed Enumeration Forms to 8,75,068 electors, but they received 8,28,906 forms. As a result, 46,162 forms remained unreceived during the enumeration phase.
The Election Department recorded different reasons for the unreceived forms. Reported categories included 21,295 cases involving deceased persons, 13,978 involving people who had permanently shifted, 8,332 cases involving absence, 2,248 cases involving already enrolled electors and 309 cases under other categories.
Officials then used the claims and objections period to examine electoral records further. Electoral Registration Officers and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers handled applications through Forms 6, 7 and 8 between July 4 and September 2.
The process therefore involved more than a single database comparison. Officials had to assess information collected during enumeration and consider applications submitted after publication of the draft roll.
Moreover, the Election Commission’s SIR schedule established a specific sequence for Mizoram. The qualifying date was July 1, 2026, followed by house-to-house enumeration from May 30 to June 28, draft publication on July 5 under the national schedule, claims and objections through August 4, and final publication on September 6. Mizoram ultimately published its final roll on September 7 after requesting the one-day change because September 6 fell on a Sunday.
The Chief Electoral Office currently records September 7 as the publication date of the final SIR 2026 electoral roll.
Final Mizoram Roll Shows Women Outnumber Men
The final electoral figures also highlight Mizoram’s gender distribution. The state now has 4,32,689 female electors, compared with 4,03,179 male electors and one third-gender elector. Women therefore outnumber men by 29,510 in the final roll.
The resulting gender ratio stands at 1,073 women for every 1,000 men. Consequently, women form a larger share of the registered electorate in Mizoram. Officials noted this feature while announcing the final roll.
Mizoram also has 4,103 service voters in addition to the general electorate. These include 4,010 male and 93 female service voters.
District-level figures show significant differences in electorate size. Aizawl has the largest electorate with 2,78,114 voters, followed by Lunglei with 97,172 and Lawngtlai with 90,715. Hnahthial has the smallest district-level electorate at 15,522, followed by Khawzawl with 17,527.
At the Assembly constituency level, 36-Tuichawng (ST) in Lawngtlai has the highest number of electors, with 37,236. Meanwhile, 35-West Tuipui (ST) in Lunglei has the smallest electorate, with 14,667 voters.
These figures demonstrate that the overall statewide change does not affect every constituency in the same way. Some constituencies gained voters during the claims process, while others recorded notable reductions.
Final Roll Published After Claims and Objections
The publication of the final electoral roll marked the completion of the main SIR process in Mizoram. Chief Electoral Officer Garima Gupta announced the final figures at a press conference in Aizawl on September 7.
The revision formed part of the third phase of the Election Commission’s nationwide Special Intensive Revision exercise. Mizoram joined Odisha, Sikkim and Manipur in this phase, with July 1, 2026, serving as the qualifying date.
The Election Commission describes SIR as a participatory exercise involving electors, political parties and election officials. Therefore, the claims and objections stage plays an important role in allowing eligible voters to seek inclusion and enabling authorities to examine objections to entries.
Mizoram’s final figures show that this process changed the draft roll substantially. Officials added 39,243 electors and deleted 32,280. Consequently, the final list increased by 6,963 compared with the draft.
At the same time, the final electorate remained 39,199 below the pre-SIR figure. This distinction is important because describing the final roll only as a decline could overlook the additions made after the draft, while describing it only as an increase could overlook the broader change from the pre-SIR electorate.
The Chief Electoral Office has made the final SIR roll available through its electoral services. It also provides facilities for voters to search electoral information and access SIR-related services.
Conclusion
The Mizoram SIR 2026 electoral roll drop records a net decline of 39,199 voters compared with the 8,75,068 electors covered before the revision. However, the final roll increased by 6,963 voters compared with the July draft, reaching 8,35,869 registered electors.
The difference arose because officials added 39,243 electors and deleted 32,280 during the claims, objections and verification process. Therefore, the final figures reflect a detailed revision rather than a simple reduction of names.
The final roll also records 4,32,689 women, 4,03,179 men and one third-gender elector. With women continuing to outnumber men, Mizoram retains a distinctive gender balance in its electoral database.
The publication of the final list on September 7 completes the scheduled SIR exercise in the state. Going forward, maintaining accurate electoral records and allowing eligible citizens to use the prescribed correction and appeal mechanisms will remain important for the integrity of the electoral roll.
