Overview
- Enumeration runs from November 4 to December 4, with draft rolls due December 9, claims and objections accepted until January 8, and final rolls slated for February 7, 2026.
- Every registered voter must submit a new enumeration form, with Booth Level Officers conducting house-to-house verification to confirm details.
- The Commission has eased procedures by not seeking documents during enumeration and by listing Aadhaar and Bihar’s updated roll as indicative papers if later verification is needed.
- Tamil Nadu’s DMK has petitioned the Supreme Court to halt the exercise in the state, and Trinamool Congress leaders announced protest actions in West Bengal as verification begins.
- Assam is excluded pending a separate, court-supervised citizenship verification, while the Bihar phase concluded with about 68 lakh deletions for deaths, duplicates, or permanent shifts.
