Eligible voters, who have been excluded from the voters’ list following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Kerala, can be enrolled as voters till the last date of filing of nominations for the upcoming Assembly elections in Kerala, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar has said.
Speaking to mediapersons in Kochi on Saturday (March 7, 2026), Mr. Kumar said such persons shall submit the application in Form No 6 of the Election Commission of India (ECI), which is the application form for enrolling new voters, along with relevant documents. Any complaints regarding the wrong inclusion of voters on the list can challenged by submitting applications in the Form 7, which is the “application for objecting inclusion of name of other person/ seeking deletion of own name/seeking deletion of any other person’s name in electoral roll due to death/shifting.”
SIR was conducted in a transparent manner, says CEC
The complaints about wrong allocation of polling booths shall be filed using Form 8, which is meant for “correction to particulars entered in electoral roll,” he said.
Mr. Kumar said the list of persons excluded from the SIR following the booth-level screening was provided earlier to the booth-level agents of political parties. He reiterated that SIR was conducted transparently, by including all eligible voters and excluding ineligible voters from the list.
