The final voters list has been released today (Thursday, 31st January) throughout Tamil Nadu. The list has been displayed for the public view in the offices of the Chennai Metro Corporation and the offices of the Tahsildars in the districts.

In order to facilitate easy, quick, and simple corrections in the voters` list, a draft as per the existing list of voters was prepared and released on 1st September last year.

The voters had been given 2 months duration to carry out the corrections. Accordingly, the duration was given during the months of September and October to carry out the corrections. Further, 4 special camps were conducted on 4 days near the locations of the election booths for this purpose. Lakhs of applications were received for corrections/deletions/additions in these special camps/

After checking and verifying the applications given for addition/deletion/correction in the voters` list, field inspections will be conducted and then the records will be added to the voters` list. After this, the final voters` list will be released every year on 5th January.

However, for this year, there has been a delay in this date as the Election Commission had planned to release an error-free voters list. Accordingly, it had been announced that the final voters` list would be released on 31st January.

With the help of a specially designed software, the names of the voters` list were compared and checked. After this, the final voters` list has been released.

This list has been displayed in all the offices of the Chennai Metro Corporation as well as the offices of the Tahsildars in the districts.

The details of the total number of voters in Tamil Nadu and the total number of voters removed from the voters` list has also been released.

This final voters list released today will be used for the upcoming parliamentary elections. So, if those voters whose names have not been included can apply and submit the details, this can be included while the list is released during the election period. This may be included in the supplementary voters` list.
