As per the Commission’s directions, voters whose completed forms are not received will not be included in the draft electoral roll.BLOs have been appointed at all polling stations and will visit every household to verify voter details. They may identify probable reasons such as “Absent”, “Shifted”, “Dead” or “Duplicate” after making inquiries from neighbouring residents and record the same accordingly.“The BLOs will make at least three attempts to contact each household. If family members are unavailable, the BLO will place the enumeration form under the door and leave a notice containing their name and mobile number, enabling the concerned voter to contact them,” he said.If a voter is not present during the house-to-house survey, any adult family member may sign enumeration form and submit it to the BLO.11 categories of documents acceptable for verificationIn cases where automatic verification is not possible through available records, voters may establish their eligibility and verify their details through documents.The Election Commission has specified 11 categories of documents for voter verification.These include identity cards or Pension Payment Orders (PPOs) issued to regular employees and pensioners of the Central Government, State Government, or Public Sector Undertakings; identity cards, certificates, or other documents issued before July 1, 1987, by the Government of India, local authorities, banks, post offices, LIC, or public sector undertakings; birth certificates issued by a competent authority; passports; matriculation or other educational certificates issued by recognised boards or universities; and domicile certificates issued by competent state authorities.Other acceptable documents include Forest Rights Certificates; OBC, SC, ST, or other caste certificates issued by competent authorities; entries in the National Register of Citizens (NRC), wherever applicable; family registers maintained by state or local authorities; and government-issued land or house allotment certificates.Those who attain the age of 18 years on July 1, 2026, will also be eligible to apply for inclusion in the electoral roll.
