The Special Summary Revision (SSR) for 2025 has concluded in the Budgam and Nagrota Assembly Constituencies of Jammu and Kashmir. The final electoral rolls for these constituencies were published today by the respective Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), in accordance with the schedule set by the Election Commission of India. The electoral rolls were handed over to representatives of political parties by the District Election Officer (DEO) and EROs.
As part of the pre-revision activities, the rationalisation of polling stations in the 27-Budgam and 77-Nagrota Assembly Constituencies was completed, resulting in an increase of 17 polling stations in Budgam and 5 in Nagrota. This brings the total number of polling stations to 173 in Budgam and 150 in Nagrota.
The revision exercise involved intensive door-to-door verification and updating by the Booth Level Officers (BLOs), focused enrolment drives for young voters (18–19 years), women, Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), senior citizens and marginalised groups through multiple awareness campaigns under the SVEEP programme. The initiatives greatly helped in promoting the participation of eligible citizens besides emphasising the commitment of Election Commission towards inclusion of all eligible electors, facilitating smooth conduct of entire electoral process.
