New Delhi, November 4, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has urged residents of Delhi to check their names in the draft electoral roll published on August 31, 2026, as part of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process.
Electors whose names are missing from the draft roll have been advised to submit Form 6 for inclusion in the final electoral roll, scheduled to be published on December 22, 2026. The last date for filing claims and objections is November 25.
The Commission has made both offline and online submission facilities available. Offline applications can be submitted to Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), Booth Level Officers (BLOs) and at designated polling station locations. Online applications can be filed through the official portal, voters.eci.gov.in, or the ECINET mobile application.
According to figures released by the ECI on November 4, a total of 33,14,032 electors were identified under the categories of no-mapping and logical discrepancies. Of these, 13,05,630 cases under no-mapping and 19,29,582 cases under logical discrepancies have been parked for the final electoral roll.
The Commission said the total included 13,79,789 no-mapping cases and 19,34,243 electors with logical discrepancies who had been issued notices.
The ECI has also clarified concerns among previously enrolled voters whose names are missing from the draft roll. Some electors were hesitant to submit Form 6 because its declaration states that their names are being included in the electoral roll for the first time, raising fears of prosecution under Section 31 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950.
In a letter dated November 3, the Commission said these apprehensions were misplaced. It clarified that the declaration has been part of Form 6 since August 1, 2022, and electors missing from the draft roll must seek fresh inclusion, irrespective of their previous enrolment.
The Commission also referred to the Delhi High Court’s October 14 judgment in Nilotpal Datta & Anr. v. Election Commission of India & Ors., in which the court observed that the petitioners could submit Form 6 for consideration in accordance with law.
The ECI further clarified that merely submitting Form 6 during or after the SIR process would not invite action under Section 31 against a previously enrolled elector, provided the person is not already enrolled in another Parliamentary or Assembly Constituency and the declaration otherwise complies with the law.
