There were 7.93 crore registered voters in the state before the SIR began in June, according to the EC.
It is yet to be known how many voters are in the just-published draft rolls.
The publication of the draft rolls also kicked off the process of “claims and objections”, which would continue till September 1, and during the period, voters with complaints of wrongful deletion of names can approach the authorities concerned seeking a remedy.
