India nears historic one billion voters mark ahead of National Voters’ Day

India nears historic one billion voters mark ahead of National Voters’ Day

India is on the verge of becoming a nation of one billion voters, with the number of registered electors now standing at 99.1 crore, up from 96.88 crore during last year’s Lok Sabha elections. The Election Commission (EC) announced this milestone on the eve of National Voters’ Day, celebrated annually on January 25 to mark the EC’s foundation in 1950.

The electoral rolls showcase a youthful and gender-balanced demographic, with 21.7 crore voters in the 18-29 age group and a notable six-point rise in the electoral gender ratio from 948 in 2024 to 954 in 2025.

Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Rajiv Kumar highlighted this achievement during the announcement of the Delhi assembly poll schedule earlier this month. “We are crossing 99 crore voters and will soon become a nation of one billion-plus voters, which is another historic record,” he said. He also noted that nearly 48 crore of these voters are women, underscoring the growing inclusivity in the country’s democratic process.

The milestone was reached following the Special Summary Revision (SSR) updates in states like Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, and Punjab, where the updated rolls were released this week. This achievement reinforces India’s status as the largest democracy in the world, as the nation gears up for future elections.
