Poll body says more than 20 million Gen Z voters added since 2025 SIR

Source: NDTV · 25 Sep 2026, 07:27 UTC

More than two crore Gen Z voters have been added to India’s electoral rolls since the 2025 Special Intensive Revision, according to the poll body cited by NDTV. The figure was reported amid claims that youth enrolment had stalled because the annual Summary Revision had not been conducted.

More than two crore Gen Z voters have been added to India’s electoral rolls since the Special Intensive Revision in 2025, according to the poll body cited by NDTV. The figure comes amid reports that the enrolment of young voters had effectively been put on hold because the annual Summary Revision of electoral rolls had not been conducted. The poll body’s reported total indicates that a substantial number of young voters were added during or after the 2025 revision process.

The supplied material does not provide the precise number, the states or constituencies involved, or the definition of the age range used for “Gen Z”. It also does not explain the duration of the alleged pause in enrolment, identify the reports making that claim or provide a response from political parties. NDTV’s account establishes the figure attributed to the poll body and the context in which it was released.

No further details about verification, objections or the next revision of the electoral rolls are included.
