The Election Commission announced that voters omitted from draft electoral rolls in seven states can now apply to be included in the final voter list.
New Delhi – The Election Commission of India has opened a fresh window for voters who were left out of the draft electoral rolls in seven states to submit their details for inclusion in the final rolls. The commission said the exercise aims to rectify omissions identified during the recent roll‑updating exercise.
Applicants will be required to furnish proof of identity and residence, after which the commission will verify the information before updating the master list. The provision is being offered ahead of the upcoming electoral cycle to ensure that eligible citizens are not disenfranchised.
The move underscores the commission’s commitment to maintaining a comprehensive and accurate voter database across the country, while also giving a second chance to those who missed the earlier deadline.
