The Special Intensive Revision of the voters list will begin in Delhi with door-to-door visits by booth-level officers from June 30, Delhi Chief Electoral Officer Ashok Kumar said, adding that the exercise would be carried out in a transparent manner.
The revision will cover all voters aged 18 years and above as on the qualifying date of October 1.
Door-to-door visits by booth-level officers will be conducted from June 30 to July 29. The draft electoral roll will be published on August 5, and the final roll, after completion of the revision, will be released on October 7.
What happens during the enumeration phase?
The Special Intensive Revision begins with the enumeration phase, during which booth-level officers visit every household and distribute enumeration forms. These forms carry pre-printed details such as the voter’s name, EPIC number, address, Assembly constituency, parliamentary constituency and photograph. The form can also be downloaded from the Election Commission’s website.
Voters will receive two copies of the enumeration form. One copy is to be filled and returned to the booth-level officer. Forms can also be submitted online.
Electors will be required to provide details such as date of birth, mobile number, and Aadhaar number, which is optional, along with particulars of parents and spouse, where applicable. A recent passport-size photograph may also be attached.The filled form must be submitted to the booth-level officer, who will issue an acknowledgement receipt.
A key requirement is that electors establish a link with the previous Special Intensive Revision conducted between 2002 and 2005.
How to check your name in the previous voter list
As part of the process, electors must map their details with the electoral rolls prepared during Delhi’s previous revision in 2002 or with the corresponding rolls of any other State where they were enrolled at the time. If a voter’s name is not found in earlier rolls, eligibility may be established through parents or grandparents whose names appear in those records.
Those who have been residing in Delhi since before 2002 can check the voters list for that year on the website of the Chief Electoral Officer, Delhi, and note details such as the relative’s name, State, Assembly constituency, constituency number, part number and serial number.
Searches may be carried out using the EPIC number or name. The website also allows filtering by district, Assembly constituency and polling station.
What if the name is missing?
If a voter had not attained the eligible voting age during the earlier revision, or if the name is missing for any reason, details of family members, such as parents, may be provided.
About 42% of electors in Delhi have already been mapped as part of pre-revision activity. Electors may check their details or those of relatives through the ECINET application or its website.
If a name cannot be linked to any previous roll, the elector will have to submit one of the 12 documents approved by the Election Commission, after receiving a notice from the Electoral Registration Officer following publication of the draft roll on August 5. You can check the list of documents here: Here are the documents needed for SIR.
What if you have moved from another State?
If a voter has moved from another State, details from the electoral rolls of that State may be furnished. Those who settled in Delhi after 2002 will not find their names in Delhi’s 2002 roll, but may appear in the rolls of their native State corresponding to the last revision conducted there.
Such voters should visit the relevant State Chief Electoral Officer’s website and note details including the relative’s name, State, Assembly constituency, constituency number, part number and serial number as recorded in the rolls for 2002, 2003 or 2005, depending on when the revision was held. This information should be shared with the booth-level officer during the enumeration process.
How to fill the enumeration form
Booth-level officers will distribute pre-filled enumeration forms in duplicate and guide electors in filling them. The pre-filled section includes the voter’s name, EPIC number, address, Assembly constituency, part number, serial number and photograph.
Electors must complete the remaining fields, including date of birth, mobile number, and Aadhaar number, which is optional, along with details of family members where available. A recent photograph may be affixed if the voter wishes to update the existing one.
The final section allows electors to provide their own details or those of relatives appearing in the previous revision conducted between 2002 and 2005. If the elector’s details are available in the earlier rolls, the relevant information should be filled accordingly. If not, details of parents or grandparents appearing in those rolls may be used.
The form must be signed or carry the left thumb impression and submitted to the booth-level officer. An adult member of the household may sign on behalf of other members.
Can the SIR form be filled online?
Yes, the form may be downloaded from the Election Commission’s website or the ECINET application, filled and uploaded. On the Voter Service Portal, electors may select the option to fill the enumeration form after logging in with their mobile number or EPIC.
To proceed, the EPIC must be linked to the mobile number. This can be done through Form 8 by selecting the option for correction of entries and updating the mobile number. Once linked, the form can be submitted, including through Aadhaar-based electronic signature, provided the name matches in both records. If there is a mismatch, the form must be submitted offline.
How to add a new name to the voters list
New voters may apply using Form 6, either online or offline. Those who shift residence within the same constituency, to another constituency, or to another State must apply through Form 8.
Applications can be submitted online through the Voter Service Portal or the Voter Helpline application. Offline submissions may be made at voter centres or through the area booth-level officer.
