How to check deleted names in draft electoral roll 2026 voter list in Prayagraj, Lucknow, Agra on eci.gov.in? What to do if name is missing

UP SIR Draft Roll LIVE Updates

What is SIR?

SIR, or Special Intensive Revision, is a large-scale verification exercise that the ECI undertakes when it believes the routine annual “Summary Revision” is not enough to clean the voter rolls. It involves house-to-house enumeration, pre-filled forms, online submissions, and fresh verification of old voter data.

Article 324 of the Indian Constitution grants ECI ‘plenary powers’ to supervise and update electoral rolls. Section 21 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, also allows the Commission to order an intensive revision whenever it finds inaccuracies in the existing rolls.

Why is SIR being conducted now?

The Election Commission has reasoned that the usual yearly revisions can no longer fix what it calls “legacy data” issues — errors built up as India has not had a nationwide house-to-house revision since 2002-2004.

What to do if your name is not on the list?

If your name is not on the list, you need to submit an objection to the EC.

Last month, UP CEO Rinwa was quoted as saying by news agency PTI: “Untraceable or missing voters who figure among the deleted, would need to show proof of inclusion in the 2003 SIR list or any of the ECI prescribed documents for getting names added to the voters’ list.

Rinwa said that the ECI will also invite those who object to the inclusion of the nearly 12.55 crore names in the draft electoral roll. These objections can be filed by filling out Form 7.

If the objection is to be found valid against the name in the draft list, it may be removed from the list.

You can submit these forms either online at voters.eci.gov.in or the ECINET app. The offline includes paying a visit to the booth level officer (BLO).
