    This page is in English only. Every figure on it comes from the state pages and the All India table, which link each figure to its source.

    Seats reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes

    Every assembly seat is either general or reserved for a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe candidate, under the Delimitation Order of 2008. This section compares the two kinds of seat in the six states that published their figures by constituency. A seat is reserved because more of its people belong to that group than elsewhere in the state, but most of its electors usually do not belong to it. So the comparison says how hard the revision fell on the places, and nothing about which electors in them were left off or deleted.

    How much the final roll made up

    For each state with a final roll, the rise from the draft to the final roll as a share of the names the draft left off. The rise counts new voters as well as names put back, so it is the most that could have come back, and the true share is lower. A figure below zero means the roll shrank again after the draft.

    Each final roll beside its draft

    For every state with a final roll, the roll before the revision, the draft, the names left off the draft, the names added and deleted between the draft and the final roll, and the final roll. The last column says how far the figures can be taken.

    Border districts

    The border districts are the Government of India's own list of Border Guarding Districts, as printed in the Staff Selection Commission's notice of 1 December 2025 for constables in the Home Ministry's armed police forces. None of its districts was chosen for this comparison. Each state is set against itself in its own measure, and states are never ranked against each other. A border district's rate, high or low, says nothing about any elector's citizenship.
