How to check your name on Delhi's draft electoral roll

By Tertius News AI Desk 2 distinct · 2 mastheads · 2 articles Version 1 Coverage Aug 31, 2026 Published 3h ago

Draft electoral roll published

The draft electoral roll for Delhi was published on August 31, 2026, following the conclusion of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), which ran from June 20 to August 17, as reported by The Hindu. The exercise aimed to update voter records, and the draft list serves as a preliminary version ahead of final publication.

The Indian Express also notes that the SIR process has been completed and the draft rolls are now available for public scrutiny. Both outlets provide guidance on how electors can verify their inclusion.

Who is affected

According to The Hindu, 47.7 lakh electors out of Delhi's 1.45 crore voters were excluded from the draft roll. These individuals are considered to have possibly moved, died, or have duplicate entries, or have been marked "uncollectible" for other reasons, and may eventually have their names struck off. The newspaper cites the Chief Electoral Officer in describing these categories.

A system for inclusion is also outlined, allowing those excluded to file claims.

How to check your name

Both The Indian Express and The Hindu describe three methods to check whether your name appears on the draft roll, all available through the Election Commission's voter services website.

Search by EPIC: Users can enter their Electors Photo Identity Card (EPIC) Number and select Delhi as their state, along with their preferred language, then enter a captcha to search.

Search by details: This method requires more information, including the voter's name and relative's name as provided during the SIR process, date of birth, gender, district, and Assembly constituency, followed by a captcha.

Search by mobile: Electors can also check using the mobile number registered with the Election Commission. After selecting their state and language, they simply enter the number and captcha to search.

The Indian Express notes that this is the simplest method, while the detail-based search is the longest.

What to do if your name is missing

If a person's name does not appear on the draft roll, they can use the 'Claims and Objections' process to dispute the exclusion, as stated by The Hindu. The concerned individuals can file claims through Form 6 with supporting documents until September 30, 2026, according to the Chief Electoral Officer. The final voter roll will be published on November 4.

Both outlets provide these deadlines and procedural details, though The Hindu explicitly mentions the September 30 cut-off and the November 4 publication date.

How each outlet told it

A framing line is our reading of that outlet's own text — an interpretation, not a quotation and not a fact we assert. Check it against what the outlet published.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
