How to Correct Errors in the Electoral List of Your Constituency?

A Voter ID Card is your passport to the Election Booth but there’s something more you need along with the Voter ID Card.You cannot exercise your vote with a mere Voter ID Card. Your name is a must in the Electoral Roll of your Constituency, which can be considered as you second passport to the Election Booth.

What is an Electoral Roll?

Inclusion of one’s name in the electoral list is a must in order to cast vote in India. Although election card is also necessary to exercise one’s franchise, voters will not be allowed to vote if their names are not enlisted in the electoral roll.

The electoral roll lists the names and addresses of the people who are registered to vote in the Elections. It is used in order to make sure that only eligible people vote. Electoral roll or list is available for all assembly constituencies in our country along with the the names of valid voters who can vote in that constituency.

A voters list is prepared judiciously by Election Commission of India (ECI) along with each state’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), State Election Commissioners (SEC), and other officers working under them.

Importance of Electoral List

The names of the eligible voters are enlisted in the electoral list. As per the update in the list, the voters would get a voter ID card. Errors in the electoral list would reflect an error in the voter id card as well. An election card is not only essential for voting, it also helps to avail many services that are meant only for the voters who reside in India. So, it is important to correct errors in the electoral roll to ensure that the data of each voter is correct and voters also get a correct and updated Voter ID Card.

The other reasons why we should update out details in the voters list and rectify the incorrect information are given under:

  • Each year, new voters join the list as youngsters turn 18 and become eligible to vote.
  • Each year, thousands die and their names must be deleted from the voters list.
  • Many change their residence due to work commitments or otherwise.
  • Some women change their surnames after marriage.
  • Errors also crop in when vernacular spelling is wrong.
  • Typo errors are also common while transferring data from forms to the actual list.

Electoral list helps to recognize actual voters, stop bogus voting, check malpractices in elections, and perform essential tasks in elections. So, if you find that there is an error in the voter’s list, you must take immediate steps to correct those errors. The ECI offers many state-wise voter awareness program to encourage voters to log in and update the voter list by highlighting the errors against their names in the list.

    Dear Officer In-charge,

    I am holding ECI of India Identity card, bearing No: RS1023931 issued to me on 18.10.2008 by the Electoral Registration Officer for 33 Dwarka Assemly Constituency. To-day when i went to the Polling Booth behind Nasirpur Sabzi Mandi to cast my vote for the Delhi Assembly Election 2013, i was told that my name was not found in the Voters’ list and as such i could not cast my vote. i was totally disappointed and dismayed that in a vibrant democracy of India i was denied of my voting rights enunciated in the Constitution of India just because of some error(s) in the data entry. i also came to know several people fell in this category of error. Could you please look into the matter and let me know how did this type of error happened and what is the mechanism available to prevent this alt lest in the future.
