Final Voter Roll for Greater Bengaluru Authority Elections Released with 88.95 Lakh Electorate
The final electoral roll for the upcoming Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) corporation elections was published on April 19, 2026, registering a total of approximately 88.95 lakh voters across 369 wards. This figure represents a marginal increase of 2,833 voters from the draft list released in March. The electorate is demographically split into roughly 45.7 lakh men, 43.2 lakh women, and 1,635 others. Bengaluru West recorded the highest voter tally among the five city corporations, while the number of polling stations was slightly reduced to 8,023. Subramanyapura ward in the South has the highest individual ward strength, whereas Vijayanagar in the West has the lowest. Following this publication, election authorities are preparing for logistical scheduling, with elections potentially occurring within 45 days. However, the GBA has reportedly requested a three-month deferment due to ongoing National Census activities and the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision of rolls. Citizens are urged to verify their details online, and provisions remain for adding missing names to supplementary rolls.
