With the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process underway across several states, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are distributing enumeration forms and urging citizens to verify their details on the electoral rolls. According to the Election Commission of India (ECI), an individual can cast a vote only if their name appears in the voter list, making this verification crucial ahead of upcoming elections.
Here is a clear, newsroom-style explainer on how voters can check their names, download the electoral roll, and obtain their voter ID online.
How to Download the Voter List
Voters can access the updated electoral rolls through the Election Commission of India’s official portal. The process is as follows:
