Electoral roll

An electoral roll is a list of all eligible voters in a specific area or constituency. It enables authorities to identify who has the right to vote in elections, ensuring a fair and orderly process. The roll is prepared through a detailed process of registration, where eligible residents provide necessary identification and documentation. It is regularly updated to include new voters and remove those who are no longer eligible, such as deceased persons or individuals who have moved away. This list forms the basis for conducting elections, helping to verify voter identity and prevent fraud.
