The Goa Chief Electoral Officer announced that 97 electors, flagged as missing in the February 21 final roll, have now been enrolled after additional verification.
The errant names were identified during the Special Intensive Revision, and the officers conducted house‑to‑house visits with booth level officers to complete Form 6.
One of the newly added voters, 47‑year‑old Manoj Patil, had been waiting months to vote in the Manora constituency.
Congress working president Sunil Kawthankar accused the BJP of using the SIR to manipulate the electorate, demanding a rollback of the revisions.
Across India, the SIR has led to the deletion of 13 crore voters, the highest in Delhi at 32.8 %, sparking nationwide debate.
The Election Commission will now audit the updated roll, with the final verification set for May 15 before the March elections.
