Maharashtra SIR Voter List 2026: How to Check Your Name and File a Claim

Events and Local News

13 November 2026 is the deadline to file a claim or objection in Maharashtra’s voter list revision. First, search your name in the Maharashtra SIR draft roll. If you cannot find your entry, check the details with your Booth Level Officer. If you are eligible and your name is missing, file Form 6 with the prescribed declaration. If you are already listed but your details are wrong, use Form 8. The final roll is scheduled for 30 November.

This is general information, not legal advice. Deadlines have been extended several times, so confirm the current dates on the Chief Electoral Officer’s site before you rely on them. Last updated 5 November 2026. This guide is independent and is not affiliated with the Election Commission.

Key dates

Step Date Source
Qualifying date 1 October 2026 Election Commission order
Draft roll published 31 August 2026 Chief Electoral Officer press note
Claims and objections Until 13 November 2026 Election Commission’s signed order of 29 October 2026
Notices and disposal Until 25 November 2026 Election Commission’s signed order of 29 October 2026
Final roll 30 November 2026 (scheduled) Election Commission’s signed order of 29 October 2026

The schedule has been extended more than once. The 26 October date mentioned in earlier articles was an earlier claims deadline, and 16 November was an earlier date for the final roll. Both have been replaced. The latest extension is reported by the Deccan Chronicle and the Free Press Journal.

What the revision means for you

  • Election officials collected enumeration forms house to house. Only electors who returned a form appear in the draft roll.
  • No documents were collected at the enumeration stage. Electors are matched to the earlier roll of 2002 to 2004, or link to a relative who appears in it.
  • If your record is unmapped or shows a discrepancy, the Electoral Registration Officer sends a notice and you then submit documents.
  • If you are in the draft and nothing is queried, you need to do nothing more unless you receive a notice.

At draft publication on 31 August, the Chief Electoral Officer reported about 9.79 crore electors before the revision and about 7.72 crore in the draft, with about 2.07 crore left out (see the press note). For Navi Mumbai at that date, the Free Press Journal reported about 2.19 lakh names in Airoli and about 1.65 lakh in Belapur not in the draft (see the report). These are draft stage figures and not November counts. Being left out of the draft is not the same as final deletion, so check your own entry.

How to check your name

  • Search your name in the 2026 draft roll on the Chief Electoral Officer’s site. The site offers a search by personal details, which helps if you do not have your voter ID number to hand.
  • Look up whether a notice is pending for you on the same site. A pending notice needs a response.
  • Your Booth Level Officer’s name and number are printed on the enumeration form. Ask the officer if you cannot find your entry.
  • Call 1950, the SIR helpline displayed by the Chief Electoral Officer, if you are unsure of your constituency or cannot find your name.

The 2002 roll is not the 2026 draft

The Chief Electoral Officer’s site also offers a lookup labelled SIR-2002, for the previous intensive revision roll. Searching it can help you match your record or a relative’s, but it does not show whether you are in the 2026 draft. Check the 2026 draft separately, even if you find your name in the 2002 roll.

By constituency in Navi Mumbai

Constituency Where to start
150 Airoli and 151 Belapur The Thane district draft roll (Thane district page) or the statewide draft name search
188 Panvel and 190 Uran The statewide draft name search first. If an enumeration form could not be collected, Raigad district’s constituency list offers a separate lookup. It is not the full voter roll and not a final deletion list
Unsure of constituency, or cannot find your name The constituency help desk directory on the Chief Electoral Officer’s site, or call 1950

If your name is missing or wrong

Form Use it for
Form 6, with the prescribed declaration A new elector who turns 18 on or before 1 October 2026, or an eligible elector whose name is not in the draft roll
Form 7 An objection to a name on the roll, made by an elector of the same constituency
Form 8 Corrections to name, address, age or gender, and shifting residence
  • File online on the voter portal (voters.eci.gov.in), or offline with your Booth Level Officer or the Electoral Registration Officer’s office.
  • If you are eligible and your name is missing, do not wait for a notice. File Form 6 with the declaration before 13 November.
  • The declaration confirms you have no other citizenship and are not enrolled elsewhere. A false declaration carries a penalty under section 31 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, so fill it in accurately.
  • Keep your acknowledgement number.

Documents: three different situations

Situation Documents
Enumeration No documents were collected at the enumeration stage. Only the enumeration form was needed
Filing a claim, for example Form 6 because your name is missing Follow the instructions and declaration for the application you file. Do not wait for a notice
Responding to a notice Submit the documents the notice asks for against your existing case, and keep the acknowledgement

Indicative documents by birth date, if you were born in India

The Election Commission’s order lists the following as indicative, not exhaustive, for electors born in India:

If you were born in India Documents needed
Before 1 July 1987 Your own document
From 1 July 1987 to 2 December 2004 Your own document and one parent’s
After 2 December 2004 Your own document and both parents’
  • People born abroad, or whose citizenship circumstances differ, should follow the instructions and declaration that apply to them. Check the Election Commission’s instructions on the voter portal.
  • Examples include a government or public sector employee or pensioner identity card, a birth certificate, a passport, a matriculation or educational certificate, a permanent residence certificate, a caste certificate, a family register and a government land or house allotment certificate.
  • Aadhaar is listed by the Commission as a document for identity and not as proof of citizenship or date of birth. Giving the Aadhaar number on the enumeration form is optional.

If a claim is rejected or more documents are requested

  • A request for more documents is not a rejection. Respond against your existing case and keep the acknowledgement.
  • For a written rejection, read the order and its appeal instructions. The appeal route and time limits depend on the procedure that applies to your case, so follow the written decision and contact the designated appellate office promptly.
  • Filing a new application does not preserve an appeal deadline, so do not treat a fresh filing as an appeal.

If you live abroad

  • New overseas enrolment: eligible Indian citizens living abroad who have not acquired another citizenship use Form 6A, linked to the Indian address in their passport. See the Election Commission’s overseas voter information on the voter portal.
  • If you are already an overseas elector and receive a notice in this revision, respond to the notice as it instructs. Check with the Chief Electoral Officer which steps apply to your case.

Search the draft roll on the Chief Electoral Officer’s site, use the personal details search if you do not have your voter ID number, or ask your Booth Level Officer. You can also call 1950.

My name is missing and I have not received a notice. Should I wait?

No. If you are eligible, check the draft and file the applicable claim, usually Form 6 with the declaration, before 13 November.

Form 8 for corrections and shifting. Form 7 is for objections.

I live abroad. Which form do I use?

New overseas enrolment uses Form 6A for eligible Indian citizens who have not acquired another citizenship. If you are an existing overseas elector with a notice, respond as the notice instructs.

When is the final voter list?

30 November 2026, as scheduled in the Election Commission’s order, subject to any further change.
