How voters can verify their names
Voters who wish to confirm whether their name appears on the final roll may use multiple channels, the CEO and the Election Commission of India (ECI) websites show. The Hindu reported the following options:
- CEO Mizoram website (ceo.mizoram.gov.in): Select the Special Intensive Revision 2026 section and open Final Roll of SIR 2026. Choose district, Assembly constituency and language, then pick the relevant part or polling booth to download the PDF and search within it.
- Election Commission of India portal (eci.gov.in): Use the national portal to search by name or EPIC (Elector Photo Identity Card) number.
- ECINET mobile application: The app can be used to locate a voter’s new part number if polling booth designations have changed.
- Booth Level Officers (BLOs): Those without internet access may consult the BLOs, who hold hard copies of the rolls and can assist with status checks on the ground.
Statuses on the roll and what they mean
The published roll shows entries in different categories to indicate their verification status. Names that cleared verification appear with no tag. Entries awaiting adjudication are marked Under Adjudication, while records removed during the revision show as Deleted. Voters whose names bear the latter tag should consult their BLO or the CEO’s office for guidance on re-enrolment if they believe removal was in error.
The CEO’s portal also allows searches by EPIC number, enabling quicker confirmation for those who have their voter identity card details at hand.
Why the revision matters
Special intensive revision drives are conducted periodically to update electoral rolls — adding new voters, removing entries of those who have shifted away or passed away, and correcting inaccuracies. Accurate rolls are essential to ensure the integrity of the voting process, prevent duplication and enable effective planning of polling arrangements.
Political parties, civil society groups and election officials typically use final rolls to prepare for campaigning, voter education and election management. For ordinary voters, the immediate importance is to verify enrolment well before a poll is announced so that any discrepancies can be resolved in time.
Next steps for voters
Voters who do not find their names on the final list but believe they are eligible should approach their BLO or the CEO’s office to understand the reason for omission and the procedure for rectification. The CEO’s website also provides forms and instructions for enrolment, correction and transposition of entries.
Those planning to use the digital portals are advised to keep their EPIC number, full name and district/assembly constituency details ready to expedite searches. For residents in remote areas, BLOs remain the principal point of contact.
The CEO’s final publication provides the definitive list of electors for administrative and electoral purposes until the next revision exercise is undertaken.
