The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2025 is currently underway in West Bengal. This is one of the most important voter verification drives before the 2026 Assembly Elections, launched by the Election Commission of India (ECI) to ensure that every eligible voter’s name is correctly listed.
However, many citizens have already reported a common problem — their names (or family members’ names) are missing from the voter list. If this has happened to you, don’t panic. There are several simple ways to fix it before the final voter roll is published.
How to Check Name on in Voter List
Step 1: Confirm If Your Name Is Really Missing
Before taking any action, double-check your details carefully. Sometimes spelling mistakes or data mismatches make it look like a name is missing when it’s just recorded incorrectly.

How to Check:
- Visit the official website: ceowestbengal.wb.gov.in.
- Click on “Search in Electoral Roll”.
- Enter your EPIC number, or use Name + Father’s Name + District to search.
- If you can’t find your entry, try variations of spelling (especially for Bengali names).
- If still missing, your name might have been deleted or skipped in the ongoing revision.
Step 2: Check the 2002 Electoral Roll Reference
For SIR 2025, the ECI is using the 2002 voter list as a reference to verify names.
If your or your family’s name existed in that list, the inclusion process becomes easier.
To Check the 2002 List Online:
- Go to ceowestbengal.wb.gov.in.
- Look for the option “SIR 2002 Electoral Roll”.
- Select your district, assembly constituency, and polling station.
- Download the PDF and search manually for your name or a family member’s name.
If your old record is found, keep a note of the serial number and house number — it will help the Booth Level Officer (BLO) verify your claim.
Step 3: Contact Your Booth Level Officer (BLO)
Your Booth Level Officer (BLO) is the first point of contact for any voter list correction. They are visiting homes as part of the SIR process between 4 November 2025 and 8 January 2026.
When the BLO visits your home:
- Tell them your name is missing from the current voter list.
- Provide your EPIC number (if old card exists) or details from the 2002 voter list.
- Show valid ID and address proof (like Aadhaar, Ration Card, or Birth Certificate).
- Fill up the Enumeration Form they provide.
If your BLO has already visited your area, you can meet them at the Designated Revision Centre (DRC) in your locality.
Step 4: Apply for Inclusion Using Form 6
If your name is completely missing and not automatically re-included, you must submit Form 6 — the official application for new voter registration.
Ways to Apply:
- Offline:
- Collect Form 6 from your BLO or local Election Office.
- Fill it up with your details (name, age, address, EPIC number of family member, etc.).
- Attach self-attested copies of ID and address proof.
- Submit to your BLO or DRC.
- Online:
- Visit voters.eci.gov.in.
- Click on “Apply for Voter ID” → Fill Form 6 online.
- Upload scanned copies of required documents.
- Keep the reference number for tracking.
Step 5: Track the Status of Your Application
After submission, your application will be verified by officials. You can track your Form 6 status online:
- Visit voters.eci.gov.in.
- Click on “Track Application Status”.
- Enter your reference ID.
Once approved, your name will appear in the Draft Electoral Roll (9 December 2025) or Final Electoral Roll (7 February 2026).
Step 6: In Case of Objection or Mistake
If you find someone else’s name wrongly included or your name incorrectly printed, you can file:
- Form 7 – For objecting to a wrong entry
- Form 8 – For correction of name or details
- Form 8A – For address change within the same constituency
Submit the relevant form online or at your local election office during the Claims & Objections period (9 December 2025 – 8 January 2026).
Important Tips for Voters
- Always keep photocopies of documents you submit.
- Use the same spelling for your name across all proofs.
- Don’t wait for the last date — early verification reduces errors.
- If you receive a notice from the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO), respond quickly with the required papers.
Final Words
The SIR 2025 campaign is your chance to make sure your voice is not lost in the upcoming elections.
If your name is missing, take immediate action — check online, talk to your BLO, and submit Form 6 without delay. Remember, a few minutes of effort today will guarantee your right to vote in the West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026.
