The Nagpur district administration has launched an extensive voter list revision exercise to ensure that no eligible voter is left out and no ineligible person is included in the electoral rolls. District Collector Kumar Ashirwad said that Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will visit every household up to three times during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026 programme. If no family member is available during these visits, voters will still have an opportunity to submit their claims and objections during the designated period from August 5 to September 4.
Addressing a meeting of representatives of various political parties at the Planning Building in Sadar, Ashirwad said the administration is committed to covering all 46.38 lakh voters across the district. A total of 4,610 BLOs have been deployed booth-wise to reach every household between June 30 and July 29. The period from June 20 to June 29 has been earmarked for BLO training and printing of enumeration forms.
The Collector appealed to citizens to cooperate by filling out the Enumeration Forms and providing the required information to visiting BLOs. Voters who are digitally literate can also complete the process online through the Election Commission’s voter portal. Each form will carry the voter’s existing electoral roll details, photograph, QR code, and the contact details of the concerned BLO. The administration has instructed BLOs to make three visits to each household to ensure that families who may be away during the first visit are not deprived of the opportunity to participate.
Ashirwad said the draft electoral roll will be published on August 5, following which claims and objections can be filed until September 4. Hearings on objections will continue until October 3, and the final electoral roll will be published on October 7.
Voters requiring assistance can also contact the Election Commission helpline number 1950. He emphasized that the entire process is designed to provide maximum opportunity for citizens to verify and update their electoral details.
According to the administration, around 70 percent of the mapping work comparing the current electoral roll with the previous Special Intensive Revision list published on December 3, 2002, has already been completed.
The revision exercise requires all voters to submit an Enumeration Form. Those whose names appeared in both the 2002 and current electoral rolls must provide details from the earlier list, while voters born after 1987 whose names were not part of the 2002 roll will need to provide details of a parent or grandparent who was listed in that roll.
The lower section of the form requires voters to furnish available information such as date of birth, Aadhaar number, mobile number, parents’ EPIC details, and spouse details where applicable.
Voters can search their names in previous electoral rolls and submit their forms online through the Election Commission’s voter services portal. The online facility for self-submission of Enumeration Forms will be available from June 30.
