Following the initial compilation of counting forms, a draft voter list was published on July 14, 2026, containing 7,133,785 names.

Concurrently, the commission received 96,704 applications under Form 7 to remove names or objects to entries. Authorities rejected 89,182 of these challenges and accepted 7,522, resulting in those names being deleted. An additional 97,186 individuals were separately designated as ineligible.
The finalised publication is now available for public review online. Citizens can verify their details by visiting the ECI website at voters.eci.gov.in or the Chief Electoral Officer of Uttarakhand website at ceo.uk.gov.in.
