CM DK Shivakumar avaru made an important appeal this week. Please participate in the 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐒𝐈𝐑) of electoral rolls. I want to add to that appeal with a complete guide because I have been getting a lot of questions from people about what exactly needs to be done and how. Your vote is the most powerful thing you have. Do not let a missed form take it away. The 𝐒𝐈𝐑 is running in Karnataka from 𝑱𝒖𝒏𝒆 𝟑𝟎 to 𝑱𝒖𝒍𝒚 𝟐𝟗. The final voter list will be published on October 7. If your Enumeration Form is not submitted before the deadline, your name will not appear in the draft electoral roll. This is not a formality or optional. 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐃𝐎𝐎𝐑 A 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫 will visit your home and hand you an Enumeration Form. Fill it carefully, verify every detail, sign it, and return it to the 𝐁𝐋𝐎 when they come back. They will visit up to three times so do not panic if you miss the first visit. If your house was locked when they came, they will have left a red circular sticker on your door. A violet square sticker means the form has already been delivered to your household. No documents are being collected at the door. You only need to fill and return the form. Aadhaar is optional if you wish to provide it. 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈𝐓 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐅𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐏𝐒 If you want to do it from your phone or computer right now, here is exactly what to do. Step 1. Go to voters.eci.gov.in or download the 𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐓 app on your phone. Step 2. On the homepage, click on Fill Enumeration Form under Special Intensive Revision 2026. If you are using the portal for the first time, click Sign Up, enter your mobile number, fill the captcha and verify with the 𝐎𝐓𝐏 you receive. If you already have an account, click Login, enter your mobile number and captcha, and log in with the OTP. Step 3. After logging in, select Karnataka as your state. Enter your 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐂 number, which is the number printed on your Voter ID card, and click Search. Your existing voter details will appear on screen. Step 4. Check every detail carefully. Your name, date of birth, address, and family member details. If something is wrong, correct it here. Once satisfied, submit the form. Step 5. Save the acknowledgement number that appears after submission. You will need this to check your status later. 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐂𝐊 𝐈𝐅 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐔𝐁𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐃 Go to voters.eci.gov.in, log in with your mobile number and 𝐎𝐓𝐏, click on Fill Enumeration Form, select Karnataka, enter your 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐂 number and click Search. If your 𝐁𝐋𝐎 has already uploaded your physical form, the screen will show a message saying your form has already been submitted. If it has not been uploaded yet, you can submit it online yourself. 𝐈𝐅 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐒 𝐀 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐕𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐑 If you have turned 18 or will turn 18 by October 1, 2026, this is your window. Go to voters.eci.gov.in, click on New Voter Registration and fill Form 6 along with the Declaration form. You can also hand it directly to your BLO. 𝐈𝐅 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 For corrections to your name, date of birth, address or photograph, submit Form 8 through voters.eci.gov.in or hand it to your BLO. Address changes for people who have shifted residence can be made after the draft roll is published on August 5. 𝑲𝑬𝒀 𝑫𝑨𝑻𝑬𝑺 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟑𝟎 to 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟐𝟗 — door-to-door enumeration and online submission window open. 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟓 — draft electoral roll published. Check your name here.
