Thiruvananthapuram, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : The Election Commission of India has published the draft voter list for Kerala as part of the Special Summary Revision process. Released on November 12, the list provides voters with a month to verify their names and submit any claims or objections.
This draft list, prepared with a qualifying date of January 1, 2027, includes a total of 27,360,254 voters. Among them, 14,038,718 are women, 13,321,267 are men, and there are 269 voters in the third gender category. The window for submitting claims and objections began on Thursday and will remain open until December 11.
Voters can check if their names and details are accurately reflected in the draft list. If discrepancies are found, they can apply for corrections. The draft voter list is accessible at the offices of Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), district collectorate offices, and booth-level officers (BLOs).
Additionally, the list can be viewed on the official website of Kerala’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO). According to age-wise data from the draft list, there are 270,675 voters in the 18-19 age group and 4,406,424 voters in the 20-29 age group, indicating a significant youth presence in the state’s voter population.

He emphasized that comprehensive information about the draft list and the revision process is available on the CEO’s website, making it easier for voters to access necessary information and take appropriate actions.
The objective of this revision process is to ensure that the voter list is accurate and inclusive, safeguarding the voting rights of all eligible citizens. Through the claims and objections process, voters can report errors in their personal details, request inclusion if their names are missing, and file objections where necessary.
The Election Commission has highlighted the importance of public participation in this process to ensure that no eligible voter is left out of the voter list ahead of the upcoming elections.
