Tamil Nadu Voter List Revision Nears Completion, Draft List to be Released December 19th
Chennai: The Election Commission of India (ECI) is wrapping up the Special Summary Revision (SSR) process for voter lists in Tamil Nadu, with the deadline for submitting enumeration forms concluding today, December 14th. This follows two extensions granted due to requests from Booth Level Officers (BLOs) and staff involved in the SSR process.
The SSR, which began on November 4th across nine states and three Union Territories, aims to update and refine the electoral rolls. The draft voter list is scheduled for publication on December 19th.
In a significant move, the ECI has increased the number of polling stations in Tamil Nadu to 75,035, up from the previous number, in an effort to streamline the voting process. This expansion is designed to ensure a maximum of 1,200 voters per polling station, easing congestion and improving accessibility.
According to the ECI, over 64 million enumeration forms have been distributed across the state as of December 11th. While the deadline for submitting these forms is today, individuals who have missed it will still have the opportunity to register as voters.
“Those who missed the deadline can register through Form 6. The draft voter list will be published on December 19th and the process is available to all” a Registration Officer said to the BBC.
From December 19th to January 18th, voters can verify their details on the draft list and submit claims for inclusions, objections for deletions, and requests for corrections. Form 6 can be used for new registrations or for those who missed the enumeration form process. Form 7 is for deletions (e.g., deceased voters or duplicate entries), and Form 8 is for address changes or corrections to existing voter information.
The draft voter list will be accessible online through the Election Commission’s website, at designated polling stations, and with Booth Level Officers (BLOs). Voters are encouraged to check the list to confirm their details and polling station assignments. With the increased number of polling stations, some voters may find that their assigned polling station has changed. EPIC (Elector’s Photo Identity Card) numbers can be used online to locate the correct polling station.
The ECI has appointed special supervisors to oversee the SSR process and ensure its smooth implementation.
