The Election Commission of India (ECI) will begin publishing the final electoral rolls for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) on February 14. Specifically, this exercise covers 12 states and Union Territories where the commission rebuilt the lists from scratch. Therefore, citizens must check their status to ensure they can vote in upcoming polls.

Why This List is Different
Unlike the usual yearly updates, the 2026 SIR is a “fresh start” for the voter database. Since many lists contained errors from the last 20 years, the ECI used house-to-house visits to verify every voter. Actually, this process removes “ghost” voters and fixes duplicate entries caused by migration. Now, the commission is ready to release the results of this massive audit.
How to Check Your Name
First, you should visit the official Voters’ Service Portal at voters.eci.gov.in. If you have your EPIC number (Voter ID card number), the search is instant. Then, you can also search by your mobile number if it is linked to your profile. Still, if you lack these details, you can manually download the PDF for your specific polling booth. In fact, checking early is the best way to avoid a surprise on election day.
What to Do if Your Name is Missing
If your name was on the draft list but is missing from the final roll, you have the right to act. Specifically, you can file an appeal with your District Election Officer (DEO) within 15 days. Then, if the DEO rejects your claim, you have another 15 days to reach out to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of your state. Actually, the most common fix is filing a Form 6 for a fresh registration. Therefore, you should keep your Aadhaar or address proof ready for the upload.

The publication dates vary across states. Specifically, the following schedule shows when the final lists go live:
