Haryana Draft Electoral Roll to Be Released on July 31, Says Chief Electoral Officer A. Sreenivas

Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) A. Sreenivas has announced that the state’s draft electoral roll will be published on July 31, 2026, urging all voters to verify their details and report any errors during the claims and objections period.

The announcement outlines the next phase of the electoral roll revision process, aimed at ensuring an accurate and updated voter list ahead of future elections.

Draft Electoral Roll to Be Available Online and Offline

Speaking to the media, A. Sreenivas said the draft electoral roll will be widely accessible to voters and political parties.

According to the CEO, copies of the draft electoral roll will be distributed to political parties at the booth level through Booth Level Officers (BLOs). The draft will also be available on the Chief Electoral Officer’s website and district-level websites.

In addition, the list containing ASDD (Absent, Shifted, Dead and Duplicate) details will be uploaded online and displayed at election offices to facilitate public verification.

Voters Asked to Check Their Details

A. Sreenivas appealed to all eligible electors to carefully examine their information once the draft electoral roll is published on July 31.

If a voter finds any incorrect information or notices that their name is missing, they can submit a request for correction during the claims and objections period from July 31 to August 30, 2026.

Applications for corrections can be filed with the concerned Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) or Assistant Electoral Registration Officer (AERO) using Form 8, along with the required declaration.

The corrected entries will be reflected in the final electoral roll, scheduled for publication on October 3, 2026.

New Voters Can Apply Using Form 6

The Chief Electoral Officer also encouraged citizens who have turned 18 years of age and become eligible to vote to apply for inclusion in the electoral roll.

Eligible new voters can submit Form 6, along with the required declaration, to their respective EROs. Once approved, their names will be included in the final electoral roll.

Notice Phase to Continue Until September 28

Sreenivas said the notice phase will run simultaneously from July 31 to September 28, 2026.

During this period, election authorities will process and dispose of claims and objections received as part of the electoral roll revision exercise, ensuring that verified changes are incorporated before the publication of the final roll.

Why This Matters

The electoral roll is the foundation of the voting process, and its accuracy is essential for free and fair elections. By encouraging voters to verify their information and apply for corrections where necessary, the Election Commission aims to minimize errors and ensure that every eligible citizen has the opportunity to exercise their democratic right.

Conclusion
