With the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections just months away in 2026, it’s time for every voter to do one simple but crucial thing, that is check whether your name or your relative’s name is on the Tamil Nadu voter list.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has kicked off a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls across Tamil Nadu and several other states. The goal? To ensure every eligible citizen is correctly listed and ready to vote when the state goes to polls next year.
Last month, the ECI told the Madras High Court that the revision exercise would begin in Tamil Nadu as part of a nationwide effort to clean up and update voter lists. The Commission has already consulted Chief Electoral Officers across the country to keep the process smooth.
This SIR exercise is not just limited to Tamil Nadu; it’s also being carried out in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Madhya Pradesh, Puducherry, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.
So, if you’re unsure whether your name or that of your parents or relatives is still on the list, don’t worry. You can easily check it online in just a few steps.
