The Special Intensive Revision of the voters list will begin in Delhi with door-to-door visits by booth-level officers from June 30, Delhi Chief Electoral Officer
The Special Intensive Revision of the voters list will begin in Delhi with door-to-door visits by booth-level officers from June 30, Delhi Chief Electoral Officer Ashok Kumar said, adding that the exercise would be carried out in a transparent manner. The revision will cover all voters aged 18 years and above as on the qualifying date of October 1. Door-to-door visits by booth-level officers will be conducted from June 30 to July 29. The draft electoral roll will be published on August 5, and the final roll, after completion of the revision, will be released on October 7. What happens during the enumeration phase? The Special Intensive Revision begins with the enumeration phase, during which booth-level officers visit every household and distribute enumeration forms. These forms carry pre-printed details such as the voter’s name, EPIC number, address, Assembly constituency, parliamentary constituency and photograph. The form can also be downloaded from the Election Commission’s website. Voters will receive two copies of the enumeration form. One copy is to be filled and returned to the booth-level officer. Forms can also be submitted online. Electors will be required to provide details such as date of birth, mobile number, and Aadhaar number, which is optional, along with particulars of parents and spouse, where applicable. A recent passport-size photograph may also be attached.The filled form must be submitted to the booth-level officer, who will issue an acknowledgement receipt. A key requirement is that electors establish a link with the previous Special Intensive Revision conducted between 2002 and 2005.
How to check your name in the previous voter list As part of the process, electors must map their details with the electoral rolls prepared during Delhi’s previous revision in 2002 or with the corresponding rolls of any other State where they were enrolled at the time. If a voter’s name is not found in earlier rolls, eligibility may be established through parents or grandparents whose names appear in those records. Those who have been residing in Delhi since before 2002 can check the voters list for that year on the website of the Chief Electoral Officer, Delhi, and note details such as the relative’s name, State, Assembly constituency, constituency number, part number and serial number. Searches may be carried out using the EPIC number or name. The website also allows filtering by district, Assembly constituency and polling station. What if the name is missing? If a voter had not attained the eligible voting age during the earlier revision, or if the name is missing for any reason, details of family members, such as parents, may be provided. About 42% of electors in Delhi have already been mapped as part of pre-revision activity. Electors may check their details or those of relatives through the ECINET application or its website. If a name cannot be linked to any previous roll, the elector will have to submit one of the 12 documents approved by the Election Commission, after receiving a notice from the Electoral Registration Officer following publication of the draft roll on August 5.
