The draft Delhi electoral roll under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) was published on Monday, excluding more than 47 lakh of the 1.45 crore voters on the existing roll.
A month-long window for claims and objections has opened from August 31 to September 30, allowing people whose names are missing from the draft roll to file claims for inclusion. The final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on November 4, reported PTI.
Voters can check whether their names are included in the draft roll through the Delhi CEO website and the Election Commission's electoral search portal.
Search by EPIC: Select Delhi as the state, enter the EPIC number and captcha code, and search for the name.
Search by mobile number: Select Delhi and the preferred language, enter the mobile number registered with the Election Commission and the captcha code, then click on "Search".
Voters or residents whose names do not appear in the draft roll need not worry. Eligible persons can seek inclusion by filing a claim between August 31 and September 30.
Applicants will have to submit Form 6, along with the prescribed Declaration Form and supporting documents.
Those who have permanently shifted residence and want their names transferred to a new constituency can submit Form 6 at their new place of residence.
The house-to-house enumeration exercise covered all 1,45,10,299 electors on the existing roll. Completed enumeration forms for more than 67 per cent of electors were submitted and digitised by Booth Level Officers (BLOs).
The remaining 47,56,722 electors were categorised as "uncollectable" under the Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate and Others (ASDDO) category and have consequently not been included in the draft roll.
Most electors in the ASDDO category were marked as "permanently shifted". Their exclusion from the draft roll does not prevent eligible electors from seeking inclusion during the claims period.
Form 6 is the application used to seek inclusion of a name in the electoral roll under the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960. Applicants are required to submit documents establishing their date of birth and residence.
For proof of date of birth, applicants can submit any one of the following:
Applicants can submit any one of the following documents:
A completed Form 6 can be submitted online through the Election Commission's Voters' Services Portal or the ECINET app.
It can also be submitted offline to the Assistant Electoral Registration Officer (AERO), Electoral Registration Officer (ERO), or through the Booth Level Officer (BLO).
For most voters, submitting the form online is likely to be the simplest option.
The Special Intensive Revision is a house-to-house verification exercise aimed at preparing accurate and updated electoral rolls and removing errors and ineligible entries.
During the exercise, Booth Level Officers visit households to verify voter details and collect updated information.
A Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls was conducted across the country between 2002 and 2004.
Under SIR 2026, the house-to-house enumeration exercise began on June 30 and ended on August 17. The draft roll was published on August 31, beginning the claims and objections period, which will continue until September 30.
The claims and objections will subsequently be examined, with the notice and disposal process scheduled to conclude on October 29. The final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on November 4.
