The timeline for publishing the draft electoral roll in Bar Council elections is designed to give every advocate enough time to check their details and raise objections if needed. Usually, the State Bar Council prepares the draft roll after verifying enrolment records, eligibility, and updated information of advocates. Once the draft electoral roll is ready, it is published on the official notice board, website, or circulated to Bar Associations.

After publication, a specific period—often 15 to 30 days—is given for advocates to review their names, correct mistakes, or file objections if their name is missing. The Council then examines all objections, makes necessary changes, and finalises the list.

The purpose of this timeline is to maintain transparency, accuracy, and fairness so that every eligible advocate gets the chance to vote without any confusion or exclusion.
