In a significant move for election preparedness, the Election Commission has released the draft electoral rolls for Chhattisgarh today. This updated list is the result of an intensive door-to-door verification effort conducted by Booth Level Officers (BLOs) across the state. The drive identified and flagged numerous entries requiring attention, such as missing voters, duplicates, and records of deceased individuals. The final, validated electoral rolls for Chhattisgarh are expected to be published on February 21, 2026. Between December 23, 2025, and January 22, 2026, eligible citizens can submit claims and objections to ensure the accuracy of the draft rolls. The process includes subsequent notices and hearings until February 14, 2026. This comprehensive revision is part of a nationwide effort to maintain pristine voter databases. To confirm your name on the new draft list, Chhattisgarh residents can visit voters.eci.gov.in. Click on ‘Search your name in E-roll’ and provide your EPIC number or personal information. New voters are advised to complete Form 6 with the required declaration, accessible through BLOs, the ECINet app, or the official website. Online tracking for submitted forms is also available for your convenience.
