If you are a voter in Delhi, this is an important update. The Election Commission has released the draft voter list,
and you should check whether your name is on it.
If your name is included, you don’t need to do anything. But if it’s missing, you must apply before September 30 to get it added. The final voter list will be published on November 4.
Over 47 Lakh Names Missing From Draft List
The draft voter list released on August 31 under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) has left out more than 47 lakh names from Delhi’s total voter base of 1.45 crore.
People whose names are missing can submit a claim for inclusion between August 31 and September 30.
How to Check Your Name
You can check your name online through the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) website in two ways:
Search by EPIC (Voter ID) Number
Select Delhi as your state.
Enter your EPIC (Voter ID) number.
Fill in the captcha and search.
Search by Mobile Number
Select Delhi and your preferred language.
Enter the mobile number linked to your voter record.
Complete the captcha to view your details.
You can also search using personal details such as your name, date of birth, age, gender, relative’s name, and assembly constituency.
Another option is to download the voter list PDF for your booth and manually search for your name.
What to Do If Your Name Is Missing
If your name is not on the draft voter list, don’t panic. Eligible voters can apply for inclusion by submitting Form 6 between August 31 and September 30.
You will need to attach the required declaration and supporting documents. If you have permanently shifted to a new constituency, you should also submit Form 6 for your new address.
You can also contact your local Booth Level Officer (BLO) for help with the process.
Address Changed? Use Form 8
If your name is already on the voter list but you have changed your address or want to correct details such as your name or other personal information, you should submit Form 8.
This form can also be used to update your voter details or transfer your record to another constituency.
Already on the List? Verify Your Details
If your name appears in the draft voter list, no further action is needed. However, you should carefully check that your name, address, and other personal details are correct.
If you find any errors, apply for corrections through the Election Commission’s process as soon as possible.
