Briefing the media on Saturday, Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) for Goa Sanjay Goel said that 12,166 new electors were added, 3,812 names were deleted and 35,780 names were marked as ineligible after the SIR exercise undertaken in the state.
A total of 11,85,034 enumeration forms were printed and distributed across the state and of these, 10,84,992 forms (91.56%) were received back, the CEO said. However, 1,00,042 forms (8.44%) were not returned and these were listed under ASDD (Absent, Shifted, Dead
and Duplicate).
These include 25,574 as dead, 29,729 marked as absent/untraceable, 40,469 as permanently shifted and 1,997 marked as already registered elsewhere, while others were 2,273.
The percentage of young voters aged 18-19 years has increased to 0.89% in the final roll compared to 0.57% in the draft roll. The gender ratio in the final roll stands at 1,068 female voters per 1,000 male voters, reflecting a higher number of women voters in the state.
Of the 10,84,992 voters in the draft roll, 83.19% were self or family mapped, while 16.81% remained unmapped. The officials also identified 58,923 cases of logical discrepancies during verification. These included mismatch in parents’ names, unusual age differences between family members and other data-related issues, which were reviewed during the revision process.
