"The large volume of applications... reflects both heightened public awareness and active engagement of political parties - Election Officials"

Jaipur, Jan 19

The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, Rajasthan, on Monday released the Daily Bulletin on the Special Intensive Revision of the electoral rolls, covering the claims and objections period from December 16, 2025 to January 19, 2026.

The data highlighted extensive public and political participation in the revision process, which is being conducted in accordance with the Representation of the People Act, 1950.

According to the bulletin, claims and objections were invited against the Draft Electoral Roll comprising 5,04,71,324 electors across the state. During the period under review, political parties and individual electors submitted a substantial number of applications for inclusion and exclusion.

Political parties, through their appointed Booth Level Agents (BLAs), submitted a total of 2,245 claims for inclusion and 18,898 objections for exclusion.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accounted for the largest share, with 2,133 BLAs, 291 inclusion claims, and 18,896 exclusion claims.

The Indian National Congress had 110 BLAs, 185 inclusion claims, and 2 exclusion claims. The Bharat Adivasi Party had 2 BLAs and 2 inclusion claims. Other national and state parties did not submit claims or objections during this period.

The CEO's office clarified that only claims and objections submitted in prescribed Form 6, Form 6A, and Form 7, along with mandatory declarations, are treated as valid. Generic complaints without these forms are not counted. A significant number of applications were received directly from citizens.

A total of 10,48,493 applications were submitted for inclusion of eligible electors (Form 6/6A). Also, 1,10,474 applications were filed for exclusion of ineligible electors (Form 7).

In addition, 12,428 Form 7 applications for deletion, including those submitted before October 27, 2025, were also under consideration.

The statistics issued by the department say that between October 27 and December 16, 2025, the Election Commission had already received 1,91,267 Form 6, 72 Form 6A, and 24,616 Form 7 applications.

No affidavits were received from non-electors under Section 2(g) of the RP Act, 1950, during the current phase.

The Chief Electoral Officer reiterated that the Special Intensive Revision is a statutory exercise aimed at ensuring that every eligible citizen is included in the electoral roll while removing ineligible, duplicate, or deceased entries.

All claims and objections will be verified strictly as per law before publication of the final electoral roll.

The large volume of applications, officials said, reflects both heightened public awareness and active engagement of political parties in strengthening the democratic process in Rajasthan.

They also clarified that the data shared were collected till Monday 3 p.m.

Interesting data. BJP submitted over 18,000 objections but only 291 inclusions? Congress did more inclusions relative to their BLAs. Makes you wonder about the strategy - is it more about cleaning the roll or something else? Need to see the final list.

As someone who recently moved to Jaipur, this article is helpful. I need to check if my name is on the list. The volume of applications from citizens directly is encouraging - it means people are taking initiative, not just relying on parties.

The sheer number of BLAs from BJP shows their ground-level machinery is very active. But the real test is the verification now. Election Commission must ensure every claim and objection is examined without bias. Our democracy's strength depends on a clean voter list.

Good to see the process in detail. The focus on proper forms (6, 6A, 7) stops generic complaints. But I have a respectful criticism: the timeline seems very tight for verifying over 11 lakh applications. Hope quality isn't compromised for speed.

My father had to submit Form 7 last year for a neighbour who passed away. It's a necessary but sad task. This revision is crucial for Rajasthan. So many young voters are becoming eligible every year. Inclusion is more important than exclusion, yaar.
