During the verification and scrutiny of the electoral roll, over 18.56 lakh voters were identified under “no mapping-unmapped cases” as their details could not be mapped with the previous electoral roll, while over 26.31 lakh voters have been identified with various types of discrepancies,” Haryana chief electoral officer (CEO) A Sreenivas on Friday said.
These cases are being examined according to the prescribed procedure, he added.
To provide the concerned voters an appropriate opportunity to present their case and submit the required documents and evidence, hearing notices are being issued and till August 14, a total of 19,35,126 notices have been issued.
In “no mapping/unmapped cases”, the concerned voters will have to submit available documents relating to themselves, their family members, parents or relevant previous records. On the basis of these documents, the concerned officials will verify the available records and decide the cases as per the prescribed rules.
The CEO clarified that receipt of a hearing notice does not mean that a final decision has been taken to delete the voter’s name from the electoral roll. He said it is a part of the verification and hearing process, under which the concerned person is provided a full opportunity to present their case and submit the required documents.
He said the claims and objections can be submitted at the concerned office and people can also apply online through voters.eci.gov.in as per the prescribed procedure.
The CEO appealed to citizens to check their names and details in the draft electoral roll. “If they receive a hearing notice, they should take it seriously, appear on the prescribed date and submit the necessary documents, thereby cooperating in the process. Action is being taken as per the prescribed procedure to ensure that the electoral roll remains accurate, updated and error-free while protecting the interests of eligible voters,” he said.
Sreenivas also urged citizens to check the names of themselves and all eligible members of their families in the draft electoral roll. If the name of any eligible person is not included in the electoral roll, a claim for inclusion can be submitted through Form-6 along with the required documents and declaration.
“So far, 25,315 Form-6 applications have been received,” he said.
The draft electoral roll under SIR-2026 was published on July 31 and August 30 is the last date for checking names in the draft electoral roll and filing claims and objections regarding any discrepancy or other issue, according to a statement.
