How to check your name in the voter list during SIR-2026

The Election Commission’s portal offers name search, application tracking and appeal tools. Use official routes and distinguish checking a record from disputing a deletion.

By · Published · Updated · 2 min read

The short answer

Use the Election Commission’s voter-services portal to search the electoral roll and review SIR-2026 services for your state. If an entry is missing or incorrect, follow the prescribed form and appeal process shown by the Commission or the relevant state Chief Electoral Officer.

Start with official voter services

The portal offers name search, electoral-roll downloads for states under SIR, application tracking and complaint or appeal routes. Confirm that you are on the official voters.eci.gov.in domain before entering personal information. If a search returns no match, verify spelling, constituency and roll version before concluding that the name was removed.

Use the correct form

The Election Commission’s FAQ identifies Form 6 for new registration and Form 8 for correction of an existing entry; Form 7 is used for an objection or deletion request. The appropriate process depends on the case and current state instructions. Keep acknowledgements and follow the prescribed claims, objections and appeal route if a name is omitted. A viral image is not an official decision.
