Delhi SIR draft voter list is out. Check your name online and learn how to use Forms 6, 7 and 8 if your name is missing or details need correction.
Delhi SIR: The Election Commission of India (ECI) has released the draft electoral roll for Delhi following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. Nearly 4.76 million names have been left out of the draft list, making it important for voters to verify their details and take timely action if their name is missing.
According to the data cited in the report, around 32.8% of names have been excluded at the draft stage. Men account for 57.2% of the deletions, while women account for 42.8%. The draft roll now has 51.15% men and 48.85% women.
For voters, the key question is how to check their name in the draft electoral roll and what steps to take if their details are not found.
How to check your name in Delhi SIR draft voter list
Voters can verify their details through the official website of the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer. The search facility allows citizens to look for their registration using different sets of information.
You can visit the official Delhi election website and use the electoral roll search option. The Delhi SIR draft roll can be checked using your existing EPIC or voter ID number.
Alternatively, voters can search by entering details such as their name, date of birth, age, gender and Assembly Constituency. A registered mobile number can also be used where the relevant search facility is available.
After completing the search, the system can display the voter’s registration details in the draft electoral roll. The details can also be printed for record purposes.
Search the electoral roll PDF
There is another way to verify your name if you prefer to check the published electoral roll directly.
For this method, voters need to select the relevant state, district, Assembly Constituency and language. After selecting the required details, the electoral roll PDF for the concerned polling station or booth can be generated.
Once the PDF is available, voters can search for their name and other particulars in the document.
Checking both the online search facility and the relevant electoral roll PDF can help voters confirm whether their details appear in the Delhi SIR draft list.
What if your name is missing from the draft roll?
If your name is not found in the draft electoral roll, there is no need to panic. The exclusion of a name at the draft stage does not automatically mean that a genuine voter has permanently lost their right to be enrolled.
The Election Commission has provided a window for voters to submit claims and objections. According to the information provided, claims for inclusion can be filed between August 31 and September 30.
Voters whose names are missing should contact their local Booth Level Officer (BLO) and understand the procedure applicable to their case.
Form 6 for inclusion of name
If an eligible voter has been left out of the draft electoral roll, Form 6 can be submitted to request inclusion of their name.
The application needs to be accompanied by the prescribed Declaration Form and the required supporting documents. Applicants should ensure that the information provided in the form matches their valid documents to avoid unnecessary delays during verification.
This is one of the most important steps for eligible voters whose names do not appear in the Delhi SIR draft electoral roll.
Form 8 for correction or shifting of residence
Form 8 is used for several electoral roll-related services. Existing voters can use the form for correction of particulars as well as for shifting their residence within or outside their Assembly Constituency, as applicable.
Therefore, if your name is present but there is an error in your personal details, or you have changed your address, Form 8 may be relevant.
Voters should carefully check the nature of the issue before submitting the form so that the appropriate correction or update can be requested.

Form 7 for objections and deletion
The revision process also provides a mechanism for raising objections against entries that should not remain on the electoral roll.
Form 7 can be used to raise an objection or seek deletion of a name from the electoral roll in eligible circumstances. This could include cases involving wrongful inclusion or other grounds prescribed under election rules.
The Election Commission may also issue notices where discrepancies are found in names, particulars or other details. Voters receiving such notices should respond within the specified process and timeframe.
Final electoral roll to be published on November 4
The current list is a draft electoral roll, which means eligible voters still have an opportunity to raise claims and objections.
The claim and objection period is scheduled to continue until September 30, while the final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on November 4.
This makes it important for voters to check their names at the earliest rather than waiting for the final list. If there is any issue, submitting the appropriate claim or correction request within the prescribed period can help ensure that the matter is considered before the final roll is prepared.
SIR conducted across Delhi
The Special Intensive Revision exercise in Delhi was carried out through 13,033 Booth Level Officers (BLOs) across an equal number of polling stations.
The large-scale revision has resulted in significant changes to the draft electoral roll. With millions of names not appearing in the draft list, eligible voters are being advised to verify their registration details and use the available claim and objection process where necessary.
Delhi SIR: Key points for voters
- Check your name in the draft electoral roll through the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer’s website.
- You can search using your EPIC number or other voter details.
- Electoral roll PDFs can also be checked for individual polling stations.
- If your name is missing, contact your local BLO.
