Goa's voter list pruned ahead of polls: 1.27L names dropped
Goa just trimmed its voter list for the 2026 elections, dropping over 1.27 lakh names after a detailed review.
The updated roll now has about 10.57 lakh voters—down from last year's count—after removing those who moved away, passed on, or couldn't be traced.
Young voters (18-19) still a small group
If you're voting in Goa, this shakeup could affect who's eligible and how fair the process feels.
Most deletions happened in bigger towns like Vasco da Gama and Panaji, while smaller areas saw fewer changes.
The update also highlights that young voters (18-19) are still a small group—one source reports them at 0.89% (under 1%), while another gives 3.41%—but their numbers are rising.
If you think your name was wrongly dropped, you can appeal within the next few weeks—so it's worth double-checking your status before election day!
