ECI Adjusts Voter Roll Timelines: Tamil Nadu Window Closes, Bengal Extended to Jan 19, Kerala to Jan 30

Officials target cleaner rolls before elections through a focused verification drive.

Overview

  • Tamil Nadu’s claims-and-objections phase ends on January 18, with the final electoral roll scheduled for publication on February 17.
  • The draft roll in Tamil Nadu saw about 9.7 million deletions following field checks, and roughly 1.28 million inclusion applications await scrutiny.
  • West Bengal’s filing window now runs through January 19 under the EC’s January 15 order, with Forms 6, 7 and 8 accepted via BLOs, EROs or the voters.eci.gov.in portal.
  • The EC clarified that the Madhyamik (Class X) admit card is not an admissible document for verification in West Bengal’s revision.
  • Kerala’s deadline moves to January 30 after a Supreme Court suggestion and a request from the State CEO, as CPI(M) alleges clerical or software errors and urges BLO-level corrections.
