Once the submission window closes, names of voters who have relocated, passed away, or have duplicate registrations will be removed. The draft electoral roll will be published on December 16, and eligible citizens whose names are missing will be allowed to apply for fresh inclusion.
Exception for Kerala
Due to local body elections in Kerala, the deadline for uploading voter forms has been extended until December 18.
IAS Officers to Monitor Draft Roll Preparation
To ensure transparency and accuracy, four IAS officers appointed by the Election Commission will visit Chennai, Trichy, Coimbatore, and Madurai to supervise the draft voter list preparation process. Their role is to ensure that no eligible voter is excluded and no ineligible name is added.
