Tamil Nadu Electoral Revision Gets Extended Deadline
The Election Commission of India has announced an extension for the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Tamil Nadu. Voters across the state now have more time to submit their claims and objections regarding the electoral rolls.
New Deadline Set for January 30
Officials confirmed the revised deadline today. The original cutoff date has been pushed forward. Citizens can now file their applications until January 30, 2026. This extension provides additional days for eligible voters to ensure their names appear correctly on the list.
The Chief Electoral Officer for Tamil Nadu made the official announcement through a press release. The office emphasized the importance of this revision period. They urged all residents to verify their details and submit any necessary corrections.
Final Publication Date Remains Unchanged
Despite the extension for claims, the final publication schedule stays firm. The complete and certified electoral rolls will be released on February 17, 2026. This date has not been altered by the commission.
Election authorities are working diligently to process all submissions before the finalization. The extended window aims to accommodate more citizens and improve list accuracy. This move is part of standard electoral preparation procedures.
The SIR process is a crucial step before any major election. It allows for a thorough review and update of voter information. Tamil Nadu's election machinery is currently focused on this administrative task.
Political parties and civil society groups have welcomed the decision. They believe the extra time will help in achieving more comprehensive voter inclusion. Officials continue to monitor the submission process across all districts.
