The Election Commission of India has pushed back the deadline for filing claims on the Supplementary Electoral Roll in Delhi and Maharashtra, issuing new dates on its portal.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) announced an extension of the deadline for submitting claims on the Supplementary Electoral Roll (SIR) for the National Capital Territory of Delhi and the state of Maharashtra. The move comes after requests from local election officials and civil society groups seeking additional time for voters to verify and correct their entries.
The SIR is a crucial component of India's electoral roll, allowing citizens to add newly eligible voters and rectify errors before elections. By extending the claim window, the commission aims to ensure that the voter list is as accurate and inclusive as possible ahead of upcoming polls.
The ECI has posted the revised deadlines on its official website, urging eligible voters to log in to the online portal, review their details, and submit any necessary corrections before the new cut‑off dates. Authorities have also reminded citizens that failure to claim within the stipulated period may result in their entries being omitted from the final roll.
Election officials in Delhi and Maharashtra have been directed to facilitate awareness campaigns, using local media and community outreach to inform the public about the extended timeline and the steps required to lodge a claim.
