The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is an important process for checking and updating voter records. If you want to confirm whether your name is included in the 2026 voter list, you can check your electoral details online using the Election Commission’s official services.
It is advisable to verify your voter information in advance, especially if you have recently moved, changed your address, corrected personal details, or are unsure whether your registration is still active.
Method 1: Check Through the Official Voter Portal
The easiest way to search for your name is through the Election Commission’s official voter services.
Follow these steps:
- Open the official Election Commission voter services portal.
- Select the option for searching your name in the electoral roll.
- Choose a suitable search method.
- You can generally search using your EPIC/Voter ID number or personal details.
- Enter the requested information accurately.
- Submit the search request.
- Review the voter information displayed on the screen.
Depending on the available service, personal details such as your name, state, district, constituency and date of birth may be required.
If your record appears, carefully check the displayed information, including your constituency, part number, polling station and voter status.
Method 2: Use the Voter Helpline App
Voters can also use the official Voter Helpline mobile application to access electoral services.
Download the application from the appropriate official app store and open it on your smartphone. Look for the option related to searching your name in the electoral roll. Enter your EPIC number or other requested details and submit the search.
The application can help you view your voter registration information and access other election-related services.
Method 3: Contact Your BLO
If you cannot find your record online, you can contact your local Booth Level Officer (BLO).
Provide the officer with relevant information such as:
- Your full name
- Father’s or spouse’s name
- Date of birth
- Residential address
- EPIC number, if available
The BLO can help you understand the status of your electoral registration and guide you regarding the next steps.
What Information Can You Check?
After finding your voter record, you may be able to see details such as:
- Voter’s name
- EPIC number
- Assembly constituency
- Part number
- Serial number
- Polling station
- Current voter status
Check these details carefully. If you notice an error, follow the official procedure for requesting a correction.
What If Your Name Is Missing?
If your name does not appear in the electoral search, do not immediately assume that your voter registration has been permanently cancelled. Search again using accurate information and, where possible, try another available search method.
If the problem continues, contact your BLO or the appropriate election office. If you are eligible and your name genuinely needs to be added, you may need to submit a new voter registration application. Existing voters who find incorrect information may also be able to request a correction through the official electoral services.
Documents You May Need
Depending on the service or application, you may be asked for documents supporting your identity, age or address. Keep your EPIC number, address details and relevant supporting documents available when completing an application.
Important Safety Advice
Always use official Election Commission websites or the official Voter Helpline application when checking your electoral information. Avoid entering sensitive personal information on unknown websites.
Never share OTPs, passwords or other confidential authentication information with strangers claiming that they can update your voter record.
