Badshahpur gears up for voter roll revision
Gurugram, June 9 -- The Election Commission of India (ECI) will undertake a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls for 2026 in Badshahpur to ensure enrolment of all eligible voters and removal of ineligible names, sub-divisional magistrate and electoral registration officer Sanjeev Singla said on Monday.
Addressing a press conference at the SDM office, Singla said July 1, 2026, has been fixed as the qualifying date for the revision exercise, with citizens attaining 18 years on or before this date eligible to register.
"The objective is to prepare an error-free and updated electoral roll by including all eligible voters and removing inaccuracies through a systematic verification process," Singla said.
Booth-level officers (BLOs), electoral registration officers (EROs) and booth-level agents (BLAs) will be trained on electoral roll revision procedures and Election Commission guidelines before verification begins.
BLOs will then conduct a door-to-door drive to collect voter details, update photographs and personal information, obtain signatures and assist residents in filling enumeration forms.
New voters will be provided Form 6 for registration and can also apply through the Election Commission's voter services portal, officials said.
Polling stations will be rationalised between June 14 and June 26 to ensure no booth exceeds the prescribed voter limit, with efforts to keep members of the same family and nearby residents assigned to the same polling station. The draft electoral roll will be published on July 21, with claims and objections accepted until September 18.
Singla said applicants born before July 1, 1987, must submit one valid document. Those born between July 1, 1987, and December 2, 2004, must provide one document of their own and one of either parent. Those born after December 2, 2004, must furnish one document of their own and one each of both parents.
Each BLO will visit every household at least three times to maximise coverage. Political parties, through their BLAs, will also assist voters during the exercise. The Badshahpur Assembly constituency has 518 polling stations and 541,834 registered voters, with voter mapping completed for around 21.37% of electors.
Singla appealed to residents, RWAs and other stakeholders to verify their details after publication of the draft roll. "Citizens should make full use of the revision period. Claims and objections received after the deadline won't be entertained," he added....
