In a significant step toward improving the voting experience for citizens, the Election Commission of India has announced key reforms aimed at streamlining the electoral process.


The maximum number of voters per polling station will now be reduced from 1,500 to 1,200, a change expected to ease congestion and minimise waiting times.

Recognising the rapid rise in urban populations, the commission plans to establish additional polling stations in densely populated residential areas, making voting more convenient for citizens. Additionally, voter information slips will be redesigned for better clarity, ensuring vital details like serial and part numbers are easily identifiable.

To further enhance accuracy in electoral rolls, the Election Commission will directly obtain death registration data from the Registrar General of India, allowing for the removal of deceased voters after verification. This is set to significantly improve the integrity of voter lists.

As part of an extensive outreach program, the commission has engaged with political parties across the country. Over 4,719 meetings have been held with political representatives, along with discussions involving parties like the BJP, Aam Aadmi Party, CPI(M), and others. The initiative emphasises collaboration and transparency in the electoral process.

Moreover, specialised training and support measures are being implemented to strengthen all election workers involved in the upcoming polls. These efforts reaffirm the Election Commission’s commitment to fostering a smooth, accurate, and responsible voting system for every citizen.
