Haryana SIR: Draft electoral rolls published, over 33 lakh names left out — how to check if your name is on list?

Haryana Publishes Preliminary Voter Lists Following Comprehensive Revision Drive

Theindiapostdaily.com – Officials in Haryana announced on Friday that the preliminary voter registers covering all ninety Assembly constituencies have been made public. This release follows the conclusion of the initial stage of the Special Intensive Revision initiative. The announcement came after more than twenty thousand Booth Level Officers successfully handed out enumeration documents to approximately two crore and six lakh registered voters across the state.

Key Statistics from the Revision Exercise

According to official records compiled through July 24, nearly one crore seventy-two lakh citizens have already turned in their enumeration paperwork. This demonstrates strong engagement from the electorate during the collection phase. The comprehensive review identified several categories of voters requiring attention.

Among those surveyed, twenty-four lakh thirteen thousand individuals were classified as having permanently relocated or being absent. Seven lakh sixty-six thousand voters were confirmed deceased, while two lakh four thousand citizens appeared on the rolls at more than one location. Those registered at multiple addresses will maintain their enrollment at a single designated polling station.

How to Verify Your Name on the Draft List

Citizens wishing to confirm their inclusion in the updated registers can follow these straightforward steps:

First, navigate to the official Haryana electoral website at https://ceoharyana.gov.in. Next, locate and select the option labeled ‘Draft Electoral Roll 2026 as on 31-07-2026’. Users must then choose their preferred district, Assembly Constituency, and language preference. After selecting either a Part Number or Part Name, enter the displayed Captcha code. Finally, download the resulting PDF document to view your registration details.

Timeline for Claims and Final Publication

Voters who believe their names were incorrectly omitted from the draft registers may apply for inclusion during the designated claims and objections window running from July 31 through August 30. Applicants must submit Form 6 accompanied by the required declaration document.

The subsequent notice phase for reviewing claims and objections will extend from July 31 until September 28. Following this review period, the Election Commission plans to release the final electoral roll on October 3.

The Election Commission reiterated its firm commitment to a transparent, participative and inclusive revision process, ensuring that no eligible citizen is left out while no ineligible person is included in the electoral roll.

Coordinated Effort Across the State

The successful completion of the enumeration phase resulted from extensive collaboration among officials across all twenty-three districts. The operation involved ninety Electoral Registration Officers, one thousand five hundred ninety-four Assistant Electoral Registration Officers, two thousand two hundred forty-four BLO Supervisors, and twenty thousand six hundred twenty-nine Booth Level Officers. These personnel were stationed at twenty thousand six hundred twenty-nine polling stations throughout Haryana.

Volunteers provided additional support alongside the official staff. Representatives from recognized political parties also contributed significantly to the exercise. Nearly thirty-seven thousand Booth Level Agents were appointed by party leaders to assist in the verification process.

A consultation meeting took place on Friday at the Chief Electoral Officer’s office in Haryana. Delegates from national and state-level parties received detailed information regarding the schedule for claims and objections. Copies of the draft electoral rolls were distributed to all meeting attendees.

Ensuring Thorough Verification

Booth Level Officers conducted door-to-door visits to distribute enumeration forms to existing voters. Each voter received at least three subsequent visits to collect the completed forms. Booth Level Agents worked diligently to prevent any eligible citizen from being overlooked during the process.

Regular booth-wise meetings between BLOs and political party agents facilitated comprehensive field verification. These sessions focused on confirming the status of absent, relocated, deceased, and duplicate entries.

Officials emphasized that no entry or name will be removed from the draft electoral roll without proper notification, inquiry, and a fair opportunity for the concerned individual to respond. In every such instance, the Electoral Registration Officer or Assistant Electoral Registration Officer must issue a detailed speaking order explaining their decision.

Extensive awareness campaigns were conducted throughout the enumeration period by the Chief Electoral Officer, District Election Officers, and Electoral Registration Officers. Multiple meetings with political parties helped explain the revision process and provided regular updates on progress. The overall SIR initiative aimed to maximize participation, ensure complete inclusion of eligible voters, and maintain transparency at every stage of the process.
