Chandigarh, November 12, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The draft electoral rolls for all 117 Assembly constituencies in Punjab under the Special Summary Revision (SSR) 2027 were published on Thursday, marking the beginning of the claims and objections period.
The period for submitting claims and objections will remain open from November 12 to December 11, 2026. Their disposal will be completed by December 28, while the final electoral rolls will be published on January 4, 2027.
Chief Electoral Officer Punjab Anindita Mitra, IAS, chaired a meeting with representatives of recognised political parties and handed over copies of the Integrated Draft Electoral Roll. The representatives were briefed on the revision process, its timelines and the prescribed forms for electoral services.
Form 6 is used for inclusion of names, Form 6A for enrolment of overseas electors, Form 7 for deletion of names, and Form 8 for correction of entries or change of residence.
Mitra said citizens who attain the age of 18 years on or before January 1, 2027, are eligible to enrol as voters. Political party representatives were also informed about digital facilities, including the Voters’ Service Portal and the ‘Book a Call Request with BLO’ facility.
Special camps will be organised across the state to facilitate electors, while help desks have been established at the offices of District Election Officers and Electoral Registration Officers.
Citizens can check their names and other particulars in the draft rolls through the CEO Punjab website or the Election Commission’s Voters’ Service Portal. Claims and objections can be submitted using the prescribed forms within the stipulated period.
For assistance, citizens can contact the Voter Helpline at 1950 or use the ‘Book a Call Request with BLO’ facility through the ECINET mobile application.
The CEO appealed to all eligible citizens to enrol themselves and ensure that no eligible voter is left out of the electoral roll.
