Nashik: District collector and district election officer Ayush Prasad has announced dedicated helpline numbers at the voter registration officer (VRO) offices in all 15 assembly constituencies of Nashik district to assist voters with the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
The facility aims to help new and eligible voters submit forms for inclusion, correction or deletion of names in the draft electoral roll under the special intensive revision programme 2026. The draft electoral roll for the district was published on Aug 30, 2026. Following the latest directive from the Election Commission of India (ECI), the deadline for filing claims and objections has been extended from Oct 31 to Nov 13. The timeline for disposing of claims and objections has also been extended from Nov 10 to Nov 25, while the final electoral roll will be published on Nov 30. “Under the revision scheme, eligible citizens who completed 18 years of age on or before Oct 1, 2026, or those left out of the Aug 31 draft list, are required to submit Form 6 along with the requisite declaration. Voters seeking corrections in the draft roll must fill Form 8 with a declaration, whereas Form 7 is prescribed for the deletion of names. The second phase of the special intensive revision covers 7.34 lakh voters in Nashik district whose details have discrepancies. They have to hurry up and it has to be done before Nov 13,” said Satish More, one of the booth level officers from Nashik city.
The district election office has announced special helpline numbers for the registration process.
The people can contact them for the help required,” said a senior officer from the district election office. They can also upload the documents online through the ECI portal, voters.eci.gov.in, the official said. Meanwhile, hearings and verification of claims and objections are underway across the district. Authorities are issuing notices to the affected voters, seeking clarification on details such as age, guardian’s name, complete address and spelling errors. “We have reached almost all the people who had their claims and objections regarding correction of names, age, address, women who have been married and left for in-laws homes or those married and have their names changed and things like that. So far none of the voters whose names have been deleted have approached us. However, if anybody still has any issues, they should get in touch with the booth level officers or respective tehsildars for resolution. Voters who receive notices from officials have been asked to submit supporting documents.
