In a major relief for voters, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has launched a month-long electoral roll purification exercise from November 12, 2026, following the removal of nearly 97 lakh names during the recent Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Tamil Nadu.

The exercise will allow voters to check the draft electoral rolls and submit claims and objections to correct or include their names before the final voter list is published.

The district election offices will publish the draft electoral rolls on November 12. The lists will also be displayed at the respective polling stations for public inspection.

According to the Election Commission notification, voters whose names were deleted during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) can submit Form 6 to request inclusion in the electoral rolls. Applications can be submitted until December 11, 2026.
