The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the Electoral Roll is an important process through which voter records are reviewed and updated. If you are a registered voter, it is a good idea to check whether your name is included in the latest electoral roll and whether your personal details, such as your address, are correct.
You can check your voter information online using the official Election Commission services or through the Voter Helpline mobile application. If your name is missing or any information is incorrect, you should take the necessary steps to get the record updated.
Method 1: Check the Electoral Roll Online
The easiest way to search for your voter record is through the Election Commission’s official voter services.
Follow these steps:
- Open the official Election Commission voter services portal.
- Select the option to Search in Electoral Roll.
- Choose the search method available to you.
- You can generally search using your EPIC/Voter ID number or by entering personal details.
- Enter the required information, such as your name, state, district, constituency and other requested details.
- Click the Search option.
- If your record is available, the system will display the relevant voter information.
Check the spelling of your name, address, constituency and other details carefully.
Method 2: Use the Voter Helpline App
You can also check your electoral information from your smartphone using the official Voter Helpline application.
To check your details:
- Download the official Voter Helpline app from the appropriate app store.
- Open the application.
- Look for the option related to searching your name in the electoral roll.
- Enter your EPIC number or other required voter details.
- Submit the search.
- Review the voter record displayed on the screen.
Using the app can be convenient when you want to check your voter information while travelling or when you do not have access to a computer.
Method 3: Contact Your BLO
If you cannot find your record online or need assistance, you can contact your local Booth Level Officer (BLO).
Your BLO can help you understand the status of your voter registration and guide you regarding corrections or other electoral-roll-related procedures.
Keep relevant information ready, such as:
- Full name
- Father’s or spouse’s name
- Date of birth
- Current address
- EPIC/Voter ID number, if available
What Information Can You Check?
Depending on the electoral service and the information available in the roll, you may be able to verify details such as:
- Voter’s name
- EPIC number
- Assembly Constituency
- Part number
- Serial number
- Polling station
- Electoral-roll status
Make sure all the information shown against your voter record is correct.
What If Your Name Is Missing?
If you cannot find your name in the electoral roll, do not ignore the issue.
First, check that you entered the information correctly and try searching again using another available method. If your name still does not appear, you can check your voter registration status and follow the official procedure applicable to your situation.
If you are eligible but are not registered, you may need to submit an application for voter registration. If you are already registered but your details contain an error, you can apply for the appropriate correction or update.
You can also approach your BLO or the concerned election office for assistance.
Documents and Information You May Need
Depending on the service or application, you may be asked to provide supporting information or documents. These can include:
- EPIC/Voter ID number
- Mobile number
- Proof of address
- Date-of-birth document
- Other supporting documents, where required
The exact documents required may vary according to the type of request.

Important Safety Reminder
Always use the official Election Commission website or official Voter Helpline application when checking or updating your electoral information.
