The Karnataka State Election Commission has published the SIR draft voter list. Voters who do not find their names can lodge a correction request online or at designated SIR offices in Belgaum.
The Karnataka State Election Commission (SEC) released the latest SIR (Supplementary Incremental Revision) draft voter list for the state, prompting thousands of residents in Belgaum to verify their entries. The list, which forms the basis for the upcoming local body elections, is accessible on the SEC’s official portal and at district election offices.
Voters who discover that their name, address, or serial number is missing are instructed to submit a correction request within the stipulated window, typically 15 days from the list’s publication. The process can be initiated online by logging into the SEC’s SIR portal, entering the voter’s serial number, and uploading a scanned copy of a valid identity document such as an Aadhaar card or voter ID.
Alternatively, applicants may visit the Belgaum District Election Office, fill out Form 6A, and attach photocopies of the required documents. Once the application is received, the SEC verifies the details and updates the list, issuing a revised draft that voters can re‑check before the final list is frozen.
The commission has emphasized that only genuine errors will be entertained and that fraudulent entries may attract legal action. Voters are advised to keep the acknowledgment receipt and monitor the SEC website for the final list publication date.
