Accessing your state’s official electoral roll is a vital step following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026. While the national portal provides individual searches, the State Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) websites host the complete, part-wise (booth-wise) PDF documents. These documents are the primary legal records used at polling stations.
This guide provides the direct pathway to access these rolls across different Indian states and UTs after the SIR 2026 update.
1. Why Access the State-Specific Electoral Roll?
The state-level roll offers details that the national search might not emphasize:
- SIR 2026 Draft Labels: State lists are explicitly labeled as “SIR Draft” or “SIR Final,” helping you confirm you are looking at the new 2026 data.
- Local Language Availability: While the national portal is bilingual, state CEO sites offer rolls in the local dominant language (e.g., Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam, or Marathi).
- ASD and Deletion Lists: State sites host the specific Absent, Shifted, and Dead (ASD) lists, which are crucial to check if your name is missing from the main roll.
2. Step-by-Step: Accessing State Rolls via CEO Portals
Every state has a dedicated CEO website. The general process to find the 2026 SIR roll is as follows:
- Locate Your State CEO Website: (See the list in the table below).
- Find the SIR 2026 Section: Look for tabs or banners labeled “Special Intensive Revision 2026” or “Draft Electoral Roll 2026”.
- Choose ‘Electoral Roll (PDF)’: This will lead you to a selection screen.
- Select Area Details:
- Pick your District.
- Pick your Assembly Constituency (AC).
- Pick your Polling Station (Part).
- Captcha Verification: Enter the code provided.
- Download & Search: Open the PDF and use

4. Voter Impact: What to Watch For on State Sites
During the 2026 cycle, state CEO offices have introduced specific transparency features:
- BLO/BLA Minutes: Some states (like Tamil Nadu and West Bengal) publish the minutes of meetings between Booth Level Officers and Agents. This helps you see if your name was discussed for deletion.
- Map Integration: Modern CEO portals now include a “Know Your Booth” feature with GPS coordinates, ensuring you can find your relocated booth post-SIR.
- Form 6B Status: You can often check the status of your Aadhaar-Voter ID linking specifically on state portals.
5. What if the State Website is Not Loading?
Due to high traffic during SIR publications, state sites may crash. In such cases:
- Use the National Portal: Go to voters.eci.gov.in as a fallback.
- Search via the “Voter Helpline” App: The app pulls data directly from the state servers but is often more stable.
- Visit the ERO Office: Physical copies of the state roll are always available for inspection at the Electoral Registration Officer’s headquarters.
Online Verification Steps (Summary)
- National Central Hub: voters.eci.gov.in
- State Specifics: CEO [StateName].nic.in
- Revision Status: Ensure you are viewing the “Revision w.r.t. 01.01.2026”.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Why does my state roll look different from the national search result?
The state roll is the “raw” PDF version of the database. The national search is an indexed version. If there is a discrepancy, the Final Roll PDF on the state CEO website is the legally binding document.
Q2: Can I download the state roll for free?
Yes. All electoral rolls for public viewing are available for free download in PDF format on CEO websites.
Q3: Is the SIR roll available for all states at once?
No. States have slightly different publication dates. For example, West Bengal and Goa published around Dec 16, 2025, while Uttar Pradesh and others published around Dec 31, 2025.
Key Takeaways for Voters
- Identify your AC: Knowing your Assembly Constituency is mandatory for state-level searches.
- Check the ASD Supplement: Many SIR deletions are only listed in the “Deleted/ASD” supplement at the end of the PDF.
- Bookmark the URL: Your state CEO website is the best place for real-time election announcements.
